Inn Heaven

Day trips are quite popular these days, and the short drive to Sutter Creek, just off Highway 88, is well worth your time. But consider a two night stay at one of the quaint inns in this historic Gold Rush town. Less than two hours from anywhere in San Joaquin County, and only 45 minutes from Lodi, Sutter Creek is packed with unique shops, historic bed and breakfast inns, immaculate wine estates, delicious restaurants, and Gold Rush-era tours.
Hail the services of Classic Vintage Car Tours to escort you on a delightful tour through the countryside, and visit the wineries of Sutter Creek. Their signature touring car, a 1939 LaSalle, will heighten your Gold Rrush-era experience. Besides, you’ll feel like Greta Garbo. A delightful communicator, owner and chauffeur Michael Politi will serve as personal consignor, recommending “must-visit” historic sites, restaurants, wineries and community activities.
The bed and breakfast inns of this darling little town could be a story all in themselves. Each has its own history, and all are unique in their own way. The antique décor, fluffy feather beds and clawfoot bathtubs filled with mineral salts are just the beginning of the experience. And the breakfast cuisine of fresh fruit, gourmet French toast piled high with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, quiche and delightful, personal service make you want to return the following weekend.
The variety of shops – ranging from antiques, to fine art, to wine tasting, to amazingly beautiful hand-blown glass – will keep you shopping on Main Street for the better part of a day… and when your feet are weary, and your back is tired from all those shopping bags, a friendly little spa, Refresh, on the north end of Main Street, is the perfect place to unwind before heading off to one of the quaint inns of Sutter Creek.
“All of our businesses are open because of the owners’ passion. Each of us is doing what we want to do, not what we have to do. And we love to share these passions with our visitors,” states Lisa Klosowski, president of the Sutter Creek Business and Professional Association, Merchants Association and owner of The Music Box Company.
According to Lisa, “no matter what your interests, whether it be gold, history, shopping, dining or wine tasting, Sutter Creek has it all.” The many experiences and the short excursions up to nearby communities can fill in the blank spaces on your itinerary. But you might want to consider leaving your itinerary at home, and just enjoy this beautiful getaway. Except for one essential! Before you leave town, you must, must, must stop for an ice cream soda at the old-fashioned Ice Cream Emporium.
