40 miles away from the wedding venue is Yosemite National Park. Need I say more? Plan to head up early though to avoid traffic, and plan ahead in case there are requirements for reservations!
Really, really big trees. Giant Sequoias.
Has a delicious restaurant!
Wine tasting galore! Mark Twain History. Caverns, and more! Ironstone Vineyards also has a great concert venue if the timing lines up.
Wine tasting and soon to be tapas!
Great shop for all things for your home!
Beer, food, sometimes live music and a large outdoor patio!
Check out the Merced River Canyon for fishing, hiking (flat along the river, or up the Burma Grade), or a very cold dip in the river. You'll likely spot some amazing wildflowers in the canyon, maybe some salamanders, etc!
