California’s Central Valley is responsible for 80% of the world’s almond supply with almonds the number one crop in California, beating out other popular produce, including grapes and avocados.

Rivaling the famous cherry blossom bloom with stunning pink and white flowers carpeting the country every spring, the blooms tend to peak from mid-February to mid-March, and one of the best destinations to experience its beauty is Modesto. Here visitors can admire more than 100,000 acres on a self, or professionally guided tour, also known as, Almond Blossom Cruises.

These cruises also offer insight into the city’s history, including background on local legends like George Lucas and the Gallo Family. Available via The Wayfarer App, the self-guided tour includes an audio guide and all the directions needed to enjoy the bloom for 15 euros, to the Motorcoach tour, a four-hour guided tour that takes you through the blooms via a luxury coach for 49 euros. visitcentralvalley.com
