Everyone knows about the cherry blossom bloom—but what about California's almond blossom bloom? ⁠
⁠
California’s Central Valley is responsible for 80% (yes, 80!) of the world’s almond supply. Escape the crowds in DC and plan a spring trip to Modesto instead, one of the best places to witness the almond trees’ stunning white and pink flowers.⁠
⁠
Take a guided tour, charmingly referred to as Almond Blossom Cruises, and make sure to stop at Rodin Farms (rodinfarmsthefruitstand) to admire the almond blossoms up close.⁠
⁠
Add the Oakdale Cheese Factory to your itinerary for a taste of the nation’s “#1 Gouda Cheese,” or for a sweet treat, head to Roberts Ferry Gourmet (robertsferrygourmet) for their famous almond butter milkshake.⁠
⁠
In the evening, swing by the Yosemite-inspired Camp 4 Wine Cafe (camp4winecafe) for wines from around the world and dishes like paninis, charcuterie boards, cheeses, and crisp salads in an intimate atmosphere with an outdoor patio.⁠
⁠
So, are you team DC or Modesto this spring? Tap the link in our bio for the full guide. ⁠
