There are wineries of all shapes and sizes peppering the dusty flatlands and rising valleys of the San Gabriel Mountains north out of central Rancho Cucamonga, showcasing everything from dry California whites to fortified port tipples. After that, you could mosey down to the Victoria Gardens shopping and culture center, where film screens and boutique fashion stores all mingle under the palm trees.

Sunny days for wine drinking in Rancho Cucamonga

Rancho Cucamonga is very much a summer destination. Despite getting the same year-round warmth and hot weather as the whole Los Angeles area, it's a city that comes out of its shell between June and July. That's when you'll be able to join the locals in open-air cinema showings in the parks, and when you'll find local bands taking to the streets with their gritty guitar sounds. It's also the best time to hit the trails and canyons of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Breakaway from the city in Rancho Cucamonga

Rancho Cucamonga is like a stepping stone between the urban sprawl of Los Angeles and the wild, chaparral-topped mountains that encase the metropolis on all sides. It's just a short jaunt from Main Street to the trailheads leading to the top of Mount San Antonio, while the Mount Baldy Ski Lifts are even closer, offering pine-studded valleys, marked walking routes, and heart-thumping ziplines to boot. Keep delving into the peaks for something altogether more feral, coming in the form of the Angeles National Forest – the land of bighorn sheep and bobcats.
