Sacramento
0
California’s capital city is flat and sprawling, with a Midwestern/art deco downtown vibe. The climate here is temperate, but there are four distinct seasons. Spring and Fall are balmy, breezy, and mild. Winters tend to be cool, wet, and windy. Summers are typically dry and hot. You’ll love the artsy, electric downtown vibe. Tree-lined, two-lane streets are flanked by Victorian homes and art-deco lofts, speckled with stately government buildings, and enhanced by lush parks, fountains, and sculptures. Gay-friendly shops restaurants, and hotels abound.

Angels Camp:
About 90 miles from Sacramento, located in Callaveras County (California’s Wine Country) this gay-friendly destination has a lot to offer wine lovers. Although not as famous as its neighboring wine region, Napa Valley, the local winemakers differentiate themselves by making wines from many of the most exotic varietals like Barbera and Tempranillo, Syrah and Snagiovese, Malvasia Bianca and Viognier, and others.
While in town, check out the many Wine Events. The wineries usually put together a variety of events from Wine and Cheese Pairings, Wine and Chocolate Pairings to Wine Tours. If you’re looking for a more low profile weekend you should give Calaveras wines a try!
Angels Camp doesn’t have a well-defined gay scene, but you will find some good gay-friendly hotels around town.
