Weekend Escape to the Mountains: A 3-Day Guide to the Yuba Foothills

Friday Evening: Music and Community

Kick off your weekend escape with live music at Clover Café in Oregon House. Enjoy farm-to-table dishes, local beer, and a vibrant community atmosphere as local musicians light up the evening. It’s the ideal place to unwind and meet the locals.

Saturday: Flavors, Farms, and Stars

Start your morning with artisan sourdough and seasonal pastries at Lavinia Bakery, a hidden gem open only on Saturdays. From there, take a short drive to New Leaf Llama Farm for a fun and healing llama tour through nature and history.

By midday, stop by Sweet Diane’s for a snack or iced coffee, made with fresh local ingredients. Then head to Grant & Marie Wine Tasting for an afternoon of scenic views and award-winning organic wine tasting.

As night falls, find a quiet spot under the stars. The Yuba Foothills offer crystal-clear stargazing opportunities far from city lights—an experience you won’t forget.

Sunday: Nature, Nourishment, and Self-Care

Wake up to the sounds of birds and morning light through the trees. Have breakfast at Sweet Diane’s or a relaxed brunch at Clover Café. Then, choose your Sunday adventure:

• Take a scenic hike along the Yuba Rim Trail at Rice’s Crossing Preserve
• Swim, picnic, or paddle at Bullards Bar Reservoir

To close your weekend, treat yourself to a wellness experience: enjoy a massage at Human Nature Massage Therapy, get life insights through a session with Lidia the Astrologer, or express your creativity in a drawing workshop with Ana Vaturi.

Whether you’re looking for local food, peaceful trails, or artistic exploration, the Yuba Foothills make a perfect weekend escape in California. Slow down, breathe deeply, and return home restored.
