Looking for some ideal Northern California romantic getaways? Call me biased, but I love living in Northern California and taking advantage of all the beautiful places to visit throughout the year.

Stay inside the park and ... to the sound of the crashing waves. In northern California between Bakersfield and Santa Maria, Cuyama Valley offers a beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle.

Whether you're hiking the trails in one of the state's scenic national parks, sampling some bubbly in the northern valleys ... to determine the best places to visit in California.
