Enjoy a half-day in the scenic and mysterious Delta discovering local favorites and hidden gems including a cidery tour and tasting with food pairings, a lunch of house-smoked tri-tip sliders, slaw, maple bacon cornbread pudding, and a drink pairing, and a custom wine tasting with cheese, jams, and chocolate pairings.

Known as the "heart" of California, the Delta is a network of intricate waterways, canals, and sloughs, charming small towns steeped in lore, 50-plus islands, national historic landmarks, nature preserves, and agricultural abundance tucked away just a stone's most throw from the Bay Area and Sacramento.

Your experience begins with a behind-the-scenes tour of family owned Hemly Cider in Courtland, hidden away among pear orchards and fields of corn. After a guided tasting of their seasonal ciders and a snack, you move on with a pint and a tour of the cidery to learn how this popular beverage is made. Next up, a short, scenic drive up the road to historic Husicks Taphouse for a lunch of house-smoked tri-tip sliders, slaw, and their famous maple bacon cornbread pudding accompanied by a drink pairing of local cider, beer, or wine.

Then, you head to another hidden treasure, family-owned Silt Winery in Clarksburg. You will learn about the terroir of The Delta wine region and enjoy a private guided wine tasting with pairings of cheeses, jams, and chocolate, in their converted barn-turned tasting room.
