Explore This California City Instead Of Crowded Napa Valley

VACATIONS
If you're looking for a cheaper, more serene escape to sip wine to your heart’s delight, skip California’s crowded Napa Valley and head to the lesser-known Fairfield.
With over a dozen wineries and tasting rooms, you'll find plenty of spots to sip in Fairfield. Try Wooden Valley Winery, which pours everything from sparkling rosés to ports.
To explore more vineyards in the area, ride the Hop On & Off Shuttle with Tams Luxury Tours. The tour circles nine Suisun Valley wineries, stopping at each for 30 minutes.
After sipping the day away, head to downtown Fairfield’s Rustwater Kitchen and Taproom. The eatery serves up classic burgers and sandwiches with 30 craft beers on tap.
You'll find great accommodations in the area like Fairfield Inn & Suites Fairfield Napa Valley Area and the Hilton Garden Inn Fairfield, which is also near the Jelly Belly Factory.
