California's spectacular and diverse First Congressional
District offers a variety of opportunities to residents and visitors. Many Wine
Country visitors tour beautiful vineyards, tasting rooms, and wine caves.
Picnicking is almost as popular as dining at our world-class restaurants, and
the bicycle is a common mode of sightseeing. The hiking trails on the coast and
in the Redwoods are plentiful, the skies are often full of hot-air balloons, and
the reason is simple: This is one of the most gorgeous parcels of real estate
you will ever see.
From the Napa marshes of San Pablo Bay to the mountains of
Mendocino National Forest, from the roaring Pacific to shimmering Clear Lake,
the terrain is rarely less than wondrous. In the springtime, wildflowers explode
with color in the hills and valleys. In summer, the vines grow full with vibrant
green leaves and sweet clusters of grapes. In the fall, the hills and trees are
truly majestic. And, even the winter is a misty and mysteriously wonderful time
to visit.
