Fall. One of the most incredible seasons in Northern California. When it comes to colors this time of year--you're going to want to head up to Sonoma County.

Have you ever been on the Wine Train? If you live around these parts it's really easy to dismiss something you've become accustomed to, but when are you finally going to pull the trigger and hop on?

This historic slow-moving train winds through some of the prettiest parts of the wine country. There are lots of options to choose from: take a ride in the morning or later in the day. Stop off at some of the wineries or just stay on board. The sky's the limit!

What makes this time of year even more incredible? It's crush season. If you're not familiar, that means it's the time of year the grapes are harvested for the new season. Not only gorgeous but a celebrated time of year here.

While you're weaving through some of the most amazing fall colors, don't forget you're actually on one of the most talked about Napa restaurants on wheels. It can be a little pricey but the consensus is it's worth every penny.

This here would be one of their breakfast plates. Whether you're here for breakfast or a dinner meal, you can bring your own wine for a $15 corking fee. Elegant and luxurious, it's not often we get to splurge on ourselves in the fall.

Colors explode in bright oranges and lipstick reds. Bring that camera and snap a few shots of you and your honey. Then make sure to post them on Facebook to brag to all your family. It's what we do.

Some of the most delicious award-winning wines are made right here in our part of the state. Hundreds of wineries boast their elegant bouquets and one-stop events. You don't have to love wine to enjoy this trip. Fall is the reason to be here.

Here's a little tip...when you step onboard, have a friend snap a photo of you and your date. That way, you don't have to pay the $35 for the professional photo they snap. Seriously, this is one you'll want to capture for the books this fall.

Step off the train and continue your fall adventure. Head over to the Jack London State park and stroll through colors like no others.

Admit it. You've never been but you want to go. You will absolutely love this fall train ride extravaganza! For tickets and additional information, click here.
