located half way between Sacramento and San Francisco, Fairfield is also just a half hour drive to Marine World, Africa USA, the wine country of Napa Valley, and the Sacramento River. With the feel of a small town enhanced with big city conveniences, Fairfield is a nice central point for visitors to stay who want to get a taste of entire region. The Fruit Loop tours are located on the old Pony Express and Stagecoach trails, and were the footpaths of the Suisun Indian.
