Joe's Of Italy

Take a leisurely self-guided walking tour of Stockton's first historic district when you explore the Magnolia Historic District. This is not only a multidimensional history lesson of the city, but it also offers a chance to see some highly detailed and impressively constructed architecture. Some of the styles you'll see include Queen Anne, Eastlake, Bungalow, Craftsman, and Spanish Revival. These homes and buildings date back to the 1860s and the area still thrives thanks to the city's successful efforts at rehabilitation, restoration and adaptive reuse. The area is bounded by Harding Way, California Street, Park Street and El Dorado Street.

Brew up an unforgettable romantic evening as the two of you make your way to Stockton's Valley Brewing Company. This highly noted spot has won kudos as the top sports bar, the top happy hour and the top brew pub in the city by its ever-growing legion of faithful patrons. Stop in after work or later in the evening for a great meal, a super drink selection and great live entertainment.

The love that the two of you have for each other has withstood the test of time, so celebrate that fact by enjoying a bottle of wine that has also been aged to perfection at the Gnekow Family Winery. Plan a romantic date and take a casual tour of the vineyards and wine presses to see how this family tradition has grown into something that has become as tasteful as it is timeless. Don't forget to take home a bottle (or two) before you wind up your visit.

Aquatic bliss awaits you at the Village West Marina.

Located on Fourteenmile Slough, experience everything from fine dining to great shopping the very high-end Village West Yacht Club. Boat owners will appreciate the gas and guest docks as well as the boat detailing facility. And, to be sure, everyone looks forward to days spent outdoors and the panoramic sunsets every evening.
