Join us for a wonderful day in the Gold Country! First, we'll visit Empire Mine State Park. Empire Mine was one of the oldest, deepest and richest gold mines in California. We'll have a private tour of the early 1900's Bourn Mansion, landscaped gardens with gorgeous fall colors, and historic mining buildings.
After our tour, we'll head to downtown Grass Valley for lunch at Tofanelli's Gold Country Bistro, a classic, local restaurant established in 1890. Lunch is included in the price from a selection of three entrees.
After lunch, we'll have plenty of time to shop at the Mill Street Downtown Promenade and areas close by. Besides excellent locally-owned apparel shops, art galleries, bookstores and home goods stores, there are plenty of interesting historic buildings to explore: the Wheel Museum, the historic Carnegie Library and the Holbrooke Hotel, a California state landmark.
Spectacular fall colors, history, lunch and shopping: a perfect day!

Whether plain and crispy from the olive oil, flavored with herbs or topped with vegetables, focaccia is a surprisingly simple bread that gives you a lot of flavor for very little effort.

Cost: $22
