Yolo County?
W elcome! Yolo County is tucked away between
Lake Tahoe and San Francisco, but it is a world apart.
A variety of experiences pedaling along bike paths
lined with lush greenery, strolling through parks, shopping in
historic districts, and enjoying art walks, cultural events and
adventure sports can be found in the vibrant cities of Davis,
Winters and Woodland, along with the outlying communities in
the picturesque countryside. All have something to offer all year.
Explore natural beauty by touring verdant farmlands
or walking quiet creekside trails. Enjoy great entertainment,
from intimate theaters to the world-class stage of the Mondavi
Center for the Performing Arts. Sample an abundance of care-
fully crafted local wine, stroll farmers markets famous for
their selection and freshness, and enjoy just about any cuisine
under the sun at one of many fine restaurants.
History buffs will find much to discover in Yolo County,
as will adventurers, nature lovers, families, art aficionados,
sports fans, music enthusiasts and even canine companions!
Davis has many attractions to keep you busy while exploring
Yolo County a lively downtown with interesting restaurants,
art galleries and retail shops; more than 100 miles of bike paths
and lanes; the twice-weekly Davis Farmers Market (voted best
Farmers Market by American Farmland Trust); the U.S.
Bicycling Hall of Fame; live music and theater; 100 acres of
plants and trees at the UC Davis Arboretum; and of course,
internationally renowned UC Davis itself.
Winters is a small yet accessible town, surrounded by fields

Woodland is full of historical and agricultural treasures.
Enjoy farm tours, great theater at the Woodland Opera House,
and the California Agriculture Museum with more than 130,000
square feet of exhibit space. The city of Woodland also offers
beautiful examples of Victorian and Craftsman-style houses in
the historic center of town. Or just outside of town, catch one of
the many themed train rides on the Sacramento RiverTrain.
Woodland also hosts many fun-filled festivals and events
throughout the year.
Unincorporated Yolo County is full of charm and
surprises. To the northwest, youll discover the fertile Capay
Valley and the serene little towns of Madison, Esparto, Capay,
Brooks, Guinda and Rumsey. Orchards and vineyards fill the
valley floor; keep going and you come to Cache Creek, a great
place for fishing and, seasonally, whitewater rafting. To the
southeast youll find beautiful Clarksburg, home to 11 winery
tasting rooms in the Old Sugar Mill, as well as prize-winning
Bogle Vineyards. Elsewhere you can take part in farm tours,
relax in cozy bed-and-breakfast inns, and enjoy fairs and
festivals year-round.
Just across the bridge from Downtown Sacramento and
minutes from Davis, West Sacramento offers a great location
for area visitors. Play in the many parks and on the riverfront.
Fish in the deep water canal, row at the port or visit one of the
local, organic farms. You can even take in a baseball game,
concert or festival at Raley Field.
Heres your guide to exploring; it concentrates on things to

Y
olo County a beautiful place to live and work as any of us
who live and work here well know but it is also a beautiful
place to visit. An essential element of its beauty is the rich agri-
cultural setting.
Yolo County is one of the most diverse farming regions in the nation,
and the variety of crops grown here throughout the year makes for a kind
of natural spectacle. Think of the vineyards, fields and orchards where we
produce wine grapes, rice, a variety of grains, almonds and walnuts,
olives, tomatoes like no one else on Earth, and, of course, our signature
sunflowers. In late spring into early summer, those majestic bright yellow
blossoms are a huge draw for residents and visitors alike.
Agriculture of course is central to our economy. Yolo County crops are
exported to nearly 100 countries around the world, generating close to a
billion dollars of commerce. This robust trade is vitally important to our
local economies, a fact recognized by recently revamped countywide reg-
ulations governing agricultural and ag-tourism activities.
Yolo County is one of the nations leaders in the highly technical world
of seed research and development, continuing a long tradition of
research and innovation in agriculture. Besides major corporations
working here like HM Clause and Monsanto, we also claim the Robert
Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science at UC Davis. This remark-
able institution is home to widely renowned departments of viticulture

and enology as well as food science and technology, and houses the only
LEED platinum winery, brewery and food processing facilities in the
world.
Yolo County is the home of leading nonprofits such as the Center for
Land-Based Learning dedicated to creating the next generation of
farmers through its California Farm Academy and Yolo Farm to Fork
a leader in expanding local school nutrition and education programs.
As impressive as all of that sounds, whats best is bringing some of this
goodness home for the family. We have wonderful farmers markets in
Woodland, West Sacramento and most famously in Davis. Consistently
recognized as one of the best in the country, the Davis Farmers Market is
celebrating its 41th anniversary year in 2017. CLBL is also creating a
series of urban farms in West Sacramento and supporting a strip of land
to supply The Barn there.
Yolo County is home to Farm Fresh To You (by Capay Organic), one of
the largest Community Supported Agriculture services in Northern Cali-
fornia; they even have a presence in San Franciscos Ferry Building, the
Taj Mahal of Bay Area markets. Other CSA producers include Full Belly
Farm, River Dog Farm and Good Humus Produce. You can also shop for
fresh produce from small family farms via the Capay Valley Farm Shop,
online at capayvalleyfarmshop.com.

Our county is home to twodozen olive oil producers, many of them top
prize winners in national competitions, such as Bondolio in Winters and
Grumpy Goats in Capay Valley. We also can lay claim to the state-of-the-
art olive mill press owned and operated by Ska Hills in Brooks; here you
can taste their wine and olive oils in their beautiful tasting room.
On the dining scene, Yolo County has its share of farm-to-fork restau-
rants, especially in the county seat of Woodland: The Savory Caf,
Kitchen428 and Morgans on Main are all sourcing significant amounts
of produce from the likes of Capay Organic, Durst Organic Growers and
Branigans Turkey Farm.
Yolo County wines are undeniably outstanding; you can find them in
Clarksburg, Davis, Winters and the Capay Valley. There are new tasting
rooms for Putah Creek Winery in Davis and Matchbook Wine Company
10
in the Dunnigan Hills. (See our winery listing and map on Page 27.)
Yolo County farms and vineyards host tours and events throughout the
year in our gorgeous countryside. Annual happenings such as the Hoes
Down Harvest Festival at Full Belly Farm, Taste of Capay, the Cache
Creek Lavender Festival, the Capay Valley Almond Festival and more
take place throughout the county each year.
You can experience all of this incredible bounty at the annual Taste of
Yolo festival, produced by Visit Yolo (aka Yolo County Visitors Bureau).
Held each springtime, this showcase celebration offers guests delicious
tastings of Yolo County wine, craft beer, restaurants bites, honey, nuts,
olive oil, meats, and much more all the good things that Yolo County
grows. Find out more at www.tasteofyolo.com.
To really taste, experience and savor the bounty of our agricultural
riches, come to Yolo County were always in season.

Art:All About Davis
O
ne thing Davis is proud of is its art.
Community art can be found both
inside and outside all over town,
brightening the downtown area as
well as shopping centers, greenbelts, parks
and buildings.
One doesnt need to look far to find
sculptures, murals or functional pieces like
a wall or clock in any part of town.
Art includes anything from a fiberglass
tomato structure to giant tumbling
dominoes to dogs riding bicycles. Some art
can even be

iking: Davis takes its reputation as the bicycle
capital of the country seriously, and there are many
ways this town proves its loyalty to pedal power.
It has earned the title of Americas Best Bicycling City
because of its high volume of bicycle use, its renowned
system of bikeways and cyclist-friendly facilities, and
supportive city and university programs.
There are more than 100 miles of bike lanes and bike
paths within city limits.
Bike paths along greenbelts, in city parks, on campus and
along the UC Davis Arboretum make bicycling a pleasant,
leisurely activity with beautiful scenery.
The Davis Bike Club also has created route maps, offering
more than 20 bike rides, with routes including Davis, Winters,
Woodland, Clarksburg, the Capay Valley and beyond.
The route maps and cue sheets the detailed descrip-
tions of how to ride from here to there are available
through the Yolo Conference and Visitors Bureaus website

UC Davis Next door...
... and a world away
Lets be honest: Much of what makes Davis a wonderful place to visit
and to live is owed to UC Davis, the largest campus in the Univer-
sity of California system.
Founded in 1905, with the first students admitted in 1908, UCD began
as the University of Californias farm school. And agriculture is still a
large focus for the campus. In fact, UCD ranks No. 2 in the world for
teaching and research of agriculture and forestry by QS World Univer-
sity 2017 Rankings.
UCDs School of Veterinary Medicine, which sees more than 48,000
animal patients each year, was ranked No. 1 in the country in 2016 by
U.S. News & World Report, and No. 1 in the world by QS. And the whole
university itself can brag about being 10th among the nations public
universities in U.S. News & World Reports most recent rankings.
But UCD is much more than a bunch of statistics. With annual events
like Picnic Day and the Whole Earth Festival, Division I athletics, three
art museums, a public art walking tour, departments of music and
theater and dance performances at the world-class Mondavi Center, and
a 100-acre Arborteum with a 3.5-mile loop path for walking or biking,
there are many reasons to visit UCD.
The university also hosts many lecture series for the public things
like Walking in the Woods with Chemistry,an exhibit in UCDs
Arboretum by a chemistry professor and a plant biology professor,
exploring such plant chemistry mysteries as: What makes up the flavor
of your wine? How can a plant cure cancer? Whats the smell in perfume?
How does a tree defend itself?
There is also a visiting artist lecture series, and UCDs wildly popular
and free! Mini Medical School, led by Dr. Michael McCloud, was
described by him as fantasy camp medical school!

Take a walking tour

A 30-minute presentation is followed by
an hour-long walking tour and is
recommended for anyone interested
in attending or learning more about
the campus at UC Davis. In addition to
being instructional and interesting, its
entertaining to watch the guides walk
backward.
Tours are year-round by reservation
only.

The Manetti Shrem Museum of Art is conceived as a model for a new kind of art museum, one that defines itself as a constantly evolving public event,
encouraging personal encounters and providing informal as well as formal learning opportunities, as the museums design vision statement explains.
Shrem Museum is artistic statement itself
By Tanya Perez
Enterprise staff writer
Opening last November,
the brand-new Manetti
Shrem Museum of Art is
the latest homage to the
fine arts at UC Davis. Its a
popular destination, with
more than 30,000 people
visiting the intimate
museum in its first six
months.
The museum is named
for its founding donors,
Jan Shrem, founder of Clos
Pegase winery in the Napa
Valley, and his wife, arts
patron Maria Manetti
Shrem, who made the
gallery possible with a $10
million gift to the univer-
sity in 2011.
For decades, artists
have come to UCD because
the place itself generated
new means of expression
and collaboration. The
first exhibit, Out Our
Way, presented 240 paint-
ings, sculptures, drawings
and prints from 12 faculty
who became prominent
well beyond the campus,
including Wayne Thie-
baud, Robert Arneson,
William T. Wiley and Roy
De Forest.
Exhibits running
through the end of June
include Sadie Barnettes
Dear 1968,... which part of the summer and
comes from political
histories using her family
photographs, recent draw-
ings and selections from
the 500-page file that the
FBI amassed after her
father joined the Black
Panther Party in 1968.
Also until June 30,
visitors can see from this
point forward, an inter-
disciplinary graduate
exhibition that showcases
the work and research of
students across disciplines
at UCD, including art
studio, design, creative
writing, art history,
dramatic arts, history and
music.
Exhibits for the latter

announced yet.

Find the
time for wine In the beginning ...
A 1930s Yolo County crop report recorded
just 1,342 acres of land devoted to wine grape
production.
That number has skyrocketed to more than
13,000 harvested acres, with merlot and char-
donnay filling the top hauls. Wine grapes are
the third highest money-making crop sur-
passed only by processing tomatoes and al-
monds.
Today, with more than 30 wineries in our
region, and UC Davis proximity to Yolo Coun-
ty vineyards (and its own experimental vine-
yards), locals and visitors have access
to the leading wine research in the world. Add
talented winemakers to the mix, and theres a
reason Yolo County is on the wine map.

By Bob Schultz

WOODLAND One of
the hidden treasures of
Yolo County, the California
Agriculture Museum can
be foundjust off Interstate
5 and County Road 102
(Pole Line Road) in
Woodland. The museum
offers one of the worlds
largest collections of
antique tractors and other
farm equipment.

brother Joe collected and

Center opened in 1997.
Over time, the operation
grew and moved from

Turkovich concurs, pointing out
that while other wine regions are
known mostly for specific varietals
such as the pinot noirs of the
Pacific Northwest or the rieslings
of Germany, the lack of firm expec-
tations allows local winemakers to
make wines of their own choosing
rather than the wine others expect.
From the aforementioned Span-
ish varietals of Matchbook, to the
Rhne-style wines of Capays
Simas Family Vineyard, to the Ital-
ian rarities of Route 3 in the Dun-
nigan Hills, the diversity of wines
in Yolo County set it apart.
The most exciting part for me
in being involved in wine at this
stage in Yolo County is were kind

makes it real fun and exciting, to
be able to have free rein to just
kind of do whatever we want, try
whatever we want, Turkovich said.
Even with the neighbors and
other wineries, all the different
varieties that are being tried, dif-
ferent styles of wine.
Were not kind of stuck in this
industry thats already been
decided for us, saying, These are
the varieties you have to try and
the style of wine you have to make,
which makes it really fun as a
winemaker, to have the freedom to
experiment and try new stuff.
Said Route 3 winemaker Gio
Ferrendelli after taking a long sniff
from a jar of his vineyards soil: I
think the wines come down to the
place theyre grown. Im not going
to say whether or not you can taste
the wine and tell where its from,
but each different place add its

 Public Art
P ublic art in Davis is an evolving thing.
The art on the streets here is for the
most part privately owned and main-
tained, with sculptures around town that are
owned by their creators, facilitated by private
property owners, but can be moved away on
their artists requests.
Local creative force John Natsoulas, owner of
the Natsoulas Gallery at First and E streets, has
been the man behind many a public art project
in the city in past years,
including the new Roy
the Dog sculpture and
the public cooperative
mural project at the
parking garage at First
and F streets.
Roy the Dog
replaced Stan the
sculpture on First Street at the Hallmark Inn
and the five utility box art projects around
downtown.
Kerry Rowland-Avrech painted a utility box
at Third and F streets, right next to University
of Beer. The work shows squirrels doing various
jobs. She thought about common Davis themes
of bicycling and education, but those themes
seemed too done for her.
I just wanted to break the mold on that,
Rowland-Avrech said. There are so many
squirrels in Davis and they are so mischievous.
She believes the squirrel theme will delight
animal lovers and children. The city paid for
the utility boxes to be painted, going through a
jury selection process of artists designs. Four
out of five boxes are painted by a Davis artist.
A box at the corner of First and E streets was
painted by a Sacramento artist.
ones at a moments notice.
New replacement installations mean artists
creations will be ready for a whole new tour and
a whole new audience. The longest any piece
will stay put is three years, Natsoulas has said.
The sculptures are not owned by the city of
Davis, he has said. The sculptures are not put
up by the city.
More importantly for Natsoulas, the city has
blessed the projects so they can happen.
City Councils that have obstructed artistic
projects to be displayed in public over cost or
liability issues have been replaced in recent times
by council members who have actively supported
the kind of activity Natsoulas and his compatri-
ots have done and plan to do around town.
Mostly that involves not stopping the artists
from doing what they want to do with privately
raised money.

W

Look straight ahead. Yes, thats a 1958 De Soto Fireflite.
Look left ... its a 1956 Nash Rambler Cross Country. In an eye-popping
black-and-red two-tone, the Thermos and picnic pack hanging on the rear
seat of this Rambler take visitors back to those ambitious family vaca-
tions of an era gone by. As the music changes to Rudy Vallee crooning
an 80-year-old love song, visitors are stopped in their tracks by a 1924
Delage DI. Made in France in 1924, the wood-accented coupe (with a
rumble seat) has the feel of a period Chris Craft speed boat.
Despite no engines running, the ground begins to rumble from the mere
sight of two Shelby Cobras. calautomuseum.org

If you havent been to

been to Winters.
Sure, with the sun set-

you can feel tension melt
