Don’t let the name fool you: Winters, California- with the zip code 95694- is home to all four seasons, and you’ll want to get outside to experience them all. Get out to the Winters Salmon Festival in the fall, where food, music, face painting, and a parade help to support the restoration of local Putah Creek’s spawning areas for this popular local catch, or to the Fall Wine Festival, which celebrates another agricultural resource of the region. When you want to celebrate winter, though, you can’t beat the town that’s named for it.
Winters is the beginning of the path to Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument, spanning from Putah Creek 100 miles north to Mendocino National Forest and the Snow Mountain wilderness. But the outdoors are more than just fun here; the agricultural industries are the bread and butter of the local economy. Ranches, orchards, wineries, and farms populate this area of northern central California, keeping the population density, poverty levels, and crime rates lower than the surrounding urban areas.
Only 11 miles from Vacaville and 30 miles from Sacramento in Yolo County, Winters keeps you close to the employment opportunities and attractions of these areas without sacrificing the peace and quiet of the local surroundings.
