California is known for many things, but wine is perhaps one of the most famous. The fine products of area vineyards are brought together in a creative and delicious way with the Wine and Chocolate Weekend, scheduled close to Valentine's Day every February. The event takes place in Lodi Wine Country and guests enjoy the finest wines paired with the most decadent chocolate concoctions which add up to an experience that is as aromatic as it is delicious.

Sometimes, art is best appreciated by just wandering from one exhibit to another and letting the visual impact of the work take hold of your senses. That is exactly what you can expect at Stockton's Haggin Museum. Featuring a balance between art and historic pieces, the Haggin does an impressive job of spotlighting the work of many notable American and European artists. The venue also encourages individual artistic expression with its many classes and seminars that are designed to deepen every visitor's appreciation and love for art.

Enjoy nature while still retaining access to all of the modern comforts when you make plans to spend some quality time at the Tiki Lagun Resort and Marina.

The resort also features an RV and camping area, so whether you choose to stay outdoors on land or navigate your vessel seaward, you can equally enjoy both at the Tiki Lagun Resort and Marina.
