Our Favorite Central Valley Spots for a Sunday Drive
Every so often we get out of the office, roll the windows down, and just drive — no open house, no client, just the Valley the way we fell in love with it. Here's where we end up more often than anywhere else.
Downtown's Swedish Village
The storefronts, the Swedish coffee-pot water tower, the small-town pace — it's the kind of downtown that reminds you why people move here and never quite leave.
The orchard roads in bloom season
Late winter into early spring, the backroads between Kingsburg and Reedley turn into tunnels of blossoms. It's a completely different Valley for about three weeks a year, and worth timing a drive around.
Downtown on a slow afternoon
Visalia's downtown has a walkable, lived-in charm that's easy to underestimate until you've actually parked the car and wandered it for an hour.
The Historic Courthouse Square
One of the more photogenic town squares in the Valley — worth the drive on its own, even before you factor in a good meal nearby.
None of these are secrets, exactly — but they're the kind of places that remind us why we do this work in this particular part of California, and not somewhere else.
