CALIFORNIA GOLD COUNTRY AREAS.
small and perfectly formed, with
great food and extensive list of El
Dorado wines.
THINGSTO DO:
Gold Country boasts some
fantastic wineries, benefiting
from the Californian sun but at
elevations in the foothills. You
can also go white-water rafting,
hiking, biking or try your hand at
gold panning – you never know!
The Eden Vale Inn isn’t far from
Coloma, where the Gold Rush
started. The old town is a state
park now and deserted – a bit
ghostly but fascinating.
