Welcome to Northern California Romance!


Here you'll find information on Romantic Places in Northern California, Romantic Ideas, tips for Romantic Weekend Getaways, plus much more.


As most Northern Californians know, many people seem to think that California ends at San Francisco. It's easy to understand why people think this simply because our state is so large. In reality, there are nearly 400 miles of gorgeous coastal views and quaint little towns that stand between San Francisco and California's northern border. We hope to change this perception and are adding more information all the time, so keep checking back to see whats new.


Gravenstein Apple Fair

by Kasey on August 13, 2011

There are many spectacular new things planned for the Gravenstein Apple Fair,  “The Sweetest little Fair in Sonoma County” this year to celebrate the occasion.

You will find many new high quality artists and crafters, natural wellness products and local art groups offering wood carving and painting demonstrations. Stop by the Farm Trails Country Store where they will be selling local farmer/member products like apple juice, preserved goods and candies, plus souvenir Apple Fair shirts, hats, aprons and introducing a new Cookbook, “100 Gravenstein Apple Recipes for 100 years” filled with apple recipes from past Fairs and recipes from local cooks and chefs.

There will be plenty to eat with new food vendors offering awesome fresh food choices from around the world. Chase it down with local micro brews and fine wines in the new “Sips and Suds” Tent. This year there will be top notch entertainment on 2 stages like local youth groups The Fondettes and Fishbear, 2 time Grammy Winner Laurie Lewis, Cajun favorites Gator Beat and rockabilly stars, Big Sandy and his Fly Right Boys. Sit and enjoy the music while you eat on rows of picnic tables and hay bale seating or get up and boogie on the new dance floor.

Tickets to the Gravenstein Apple Fair will be available June 2011.
