In the rolling hills just west of Sacramento Valley is Vacaville.
This town, nestled in the hills is off the 99 freeway, just an hour from San
Francisco, and within minutes of the Napa and Sonoma wine countries.
If you want to soak in some of the local art, there are a
few places you can go. The Vacaville Museum, a Center for Solano County History,
has the current exhibit, Serigrafia, designs from California’s silkscreen
master printmakers. Only $3 for adults
to tour the museum Tuesday through Friday. Vacaville is also becoming known for
its Public Art, located throughout the community. Some of the best places to
find public art in Vacaville are in the downtown, at City Hall, and at the
Vacaville Cultural Center. And while you are downtown, pick up a brew at TJs
Tavern.
If you are in the mood for something a little richer, visit
the BackDoor Bistro. At BackDoor Bistro, they emphasize local and sustainable
cuisine and offer a variety of wine selections. Balanced plates and local music
create a great atmosphere for gathering after a nice ride. Join them for their
Happy Hour from 5 to 7.
