The city of Vacaville is located in Solano County in Northern California. Vacaville's central location affords residents and visitors the opportunity to be within minutes of the Napa and Sonoma wine countries. The Sonoma Mountains to the west help protect the valley from excessive rainfall. The cool air that does affect the region comes northward from San Pablo Bay through the Carneros region and southward from the Santa Rosa plain. Sonoma Valley has played a significant role in the history of California wine. Vacaville incorporated in 1892 and transformed itself from a rich and fertile agricultural community to a city which is home to progressive companies – there are four biotechnology/pharmaceutical facilities in the city. You can sample work from local and visiting artists at the Vacaville Art Gallery which is housed in an old Victorian home that was set to be demolished in 1965 but was instead restored and leased by the city.
Vacaville can also be appreciated through its excellent retail shopping like Nut Tree Plaza, which is home to a train for children and a life-size checkerboard, and Vacaville Premium Outlets, one of the area’s largest shopping destinations. The Vacaville Museum preserves the history and culture of Solano County through exhibits, publications and educational programs. Since 1984, Vacaville Museum has produced 40 exhibits, as well as numerous publications important to the history and sense of place of Solano County. Whether you are taking in a play at the Vacaville Performing Arts Theater, fishing or hiking at Lagoon Valley Park or listening to the Solano Community Symphony, you will never be at a loss for invigorating activities in Vacaville.
