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 popular 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 beautiful regions 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. Even the winter is a misty and mysteriously wonderful time to visit.
