Saturday: The First 24 Hours

Afternoon: Wine Excursions in Durham
Cheers to good company, food and wine! Our next recommendation would be to take a trip to the Durham Wine District; a great location that has been treating wine enthusiasts for years! The perfect destination for a day trip as the four wineries are just minutes apart—and just about 15 minutes from Downtown Chico. Each tasting room and wine is unique providing you with the highest level of craftsmanship and a rememberable experience.

Spend the day: Outdoors
The best Chico days are spent outside taking in all the beauty that surrounds us.

All you have to do is enjoy one of the many elements that makes Chico unique, our great outdoors. Check out these past Parkway Post Newsletters for ideas on the best places to adventure in Chico.
