Enjoy Fall in Pleasant Hill
09/22/23Just because we've said goodbye to summer doesn't mean you can't enjoy a day trip or a weekend excursion to Pleasant Hill! Autumn is a great time to experience what we and our surrounding communities have to offer.
Local Vineyards, Wineries, and Tasting Rooms
It's no secret that Northern California is a wine lover's destination! Spend a day walking through the vines, enjoy a tasting of curated selections, and of course make sure to take some home. It's not too early to start shopping for holiday wines and gifts for loved ones. Nearby Sonoma, Livermore, and Napa Valleys are ready to welcome you.

Hike, Explore, Visit
