Follow the chardonnay road with
Chico,
Butte County
Thefriendly town of
Chico in California’s
Butte County, 260km
north of San Francisco,
offers scenic wonders
ranging from majestic
waterfalls to plentiful
hiking trails. There’s
no shortage of local
wineries to delight your
tastebuds, either, from
Almendra Winery &
Distillery to the Nesseré
Vineyards. If you’re
looking to take a short
break from the vino,
no trip to Chico is
complete without
a visit to the famous
Sierra Nevada Brewery.
Go behind the scenes
of the brewhouse’s
beer-making process,
and opt to have your
tasting in the outdoor
Hop Yard, paired with
a delicious pizza made
using ingredients from
their own garden.
