The Arboretum
The UC Davis Arboretum gardens are open 24
hours a day, every day of the year, and there is
no charge for admission. The plants in the 17
gardens and collections of The Arboretum
represent a living museum and the universitys
commitment to sustainable growing practices that
reduce the use of water, energy, and chemical
inputs and support native pollinators, birds, and
beneficial insects.
Arboretum paths are popular with walkers,
joggers and bicyclists. The main path is a 3.5-mile
loop.
The lawns at the west end near Peter J. Shields
Grove are perfect for informal games and picnics.
Picnic tables are located behind Putah Creek
Lodge and in the Redwood Grove.
Parking is available at several visitor parking lots
along the length of the Arboretum. Parking is free
on weekends and holidays and costs $9 per car on
weekdays. Permit machines in the visitor parking
lots accept bills, coins, ATM and credit cards. For
the safety of visitors and wildlife, dogs must stay

A 1930s Yolo County crop report recorded
just 1,342 acres of land devoted to wine grape
production.
That number has skyrocketed to more than
13,000 harvested acres, with merlot and char-
donnay filling the top hauls. Wine grapes are
the third highest money-making crop sur-
passed only by processing tomatoes and al-
monds.
Today, with more than 30 wineries in our
region, and UC Davis proximity to Yolo Coun-
ty vineyards (and its own experimental vine-
yards), locals and visitors have access
to the leading wine research in the world. Add
talented winemakers to the mix, and theres a
reason Yolo County is on the wine map.
