The glamour of Hollywood extends well beyond the borders of Los Angeles, infecting the entire state of California with celebrities, iconic landscapes, and trendy metropolitan wonder. From the balmy beaches of southern California to the soupy fog of San Francisco and northwards into the wild redwood forests and dramatic Pacific coastline, this state really does have it all. Even if you base yourself in one of the wonderfully entertaining cities like Los Angeles or San Francisco, it’s still easy to reach wild state parks, the coast, or small country towns in an hour. It’s this mix of nature and culture that really turns on the appeal in California. Some of its trendiest towns are quiet, friendly places where wineries grow grapes, brewer craft beer, and dairy farmers churn out gourmet cheeses.
