Day Trips From Sacramento

Conveniently located in California’s Central Valley, you’ll find a variety of close by day trips from Sacramento, whether you’re looking for the mountains or wine country.

Wine Tasting

A short 70 miles west of Sacramento, you’ll find the Napa Valley. This beautiful area full of sprawling wineries and vineyards offers visitors the opportunity to tour these gorgeous buildings and try some of the best wine made on the West Coast. Set up a tour through the area or choose a few wineries to visit--either way, you can easily make a day of it.

William Land Regional Park

Just south of Midtown, you’ll find the William Land Regional Park chock full of places to explore. The nearly 167 acres are filled with an amphitheater, a golf course, a jogging path, several picnic areas, a rock garden, and various softball and soccer fields, and the Sacramento Zoo. Traveling with kids or not, you’ll find it easy to spend a day in this wonderful park.

Yosemite National Park

Although a bit of a drive, Yosemite National Park is one place you really can’t miss during your time in the Central Valley. Roughly three and a half hours southeast of the Capitol City, you’ll find breathtaking vistas, including the iconic Half Dome.
