Yes, we drove all the way to Dixon, CA so I could see sunflowers, but that's not all there is! If you're into craft beer and local markets, this is the perfect little day trip. Time of year is essential, though. Sunflowers are in full bloom from during June & July, and I went in July for what felt like the peak! **I had great success following a tip that suggested looking up the Dixon, CA location on Instagram and you'll surely see people posting sunflowers and tagging their location once they're in bloom.

The Perfect Sunflower Spot:
After bookmarking and checking out lots of spots, I found the lot behind the 76 Gas station (on Pedrick Road) to be the best spot for sunflower viewing and photos. They are plentiful and you don't feel like you're trespassing. The runner up spot was Currey Rd. at corner of Sievers
Tip: Sunset is the best time for photos. Scope the scene int he afternoon and then come back at the end of the day after you've checked out some local craft breweries.
Roadtrip Snacks:
Right across the street is Pedrick Produce - I'm a sucker for a local market, and that is Pedricks. local nuts and candies and fruits and produce
Local Brews:
With every road trip comes a local brewery stop. First was Ruhstaller Brewery right in Dixon. Next we ventured into Davis and checked out Three Mile Brewing Co.
