Embark on a journey for half a day to uncover the lesser known treasures of the historic Delta, the ‘heart’ of California. Characterised by its complex network of waterways, canals and sloughs, quaint towns filled with history, over 50 islands, nationally recognised landmarks, nature reserves and plenty of agriculture, this hidden gem is conveniently located a short distance away from the Bay Area and Sacramento. This region hosts historical towns that sprouted up along the Sacramento River within the steamboat trade era. The well-known ‘Delta breeze’ serves as a natural air conditioner during the evening even on the warmest days, and its nutrient-rich soil is ideal for farming and viniculture. The Delta is both rich in resources and mystery, with its intricate draw bridges, renowned local establishments, and even a mansion rumoured to be haunted. Our ‘Taste of the Delta Tour’ will guide you through some local highlights that embody the history of pear farming, winemaking and the area’s fruitful bounty.
