FUN FACT
Long before Napa and Sonoma
became synonymous with wine,
Rancho Cucamonga was one of
California’s largest wine-producing
regions, while the surrounding
Southern California Inlands earned
the nickname “Citrus Empire” for
its thriving orange groves.
including iconic brands like Ralph Lauren, Coach,
and Saks Off 5th. Prefer sunshine while you shop?
Stroll through Victoria Gardens, an open-air complex
that blends boutiques and charming outdoor spaces.
Foodies should not miss Haven City Market, a
food hall that dishes up flavours from around the
world—think gourmet Korean corn dog, Hawaiian
garlic shrimp and loaded acai bowls. Wine lovers
can sip and swirl their way through the region,
starting at award-winning D’Ellena Winery, where
tasting flights pair with winemaking lessons. Or
unwind on the rustic patio at San Antonio Winery,
a longstanding family-owned Southern California
winery. Follow the locals in the region to Mars
Brewing, where craft beer and backyard BBQ meet
for a pint and a plate of tri-tip tacos from the nearby
food truck.
Adventure Awaits
Motorheads can take the wheel at K1 Speed, a high-
octane go-kart racing track that tests your skills on
the asphalt. With majestic mountain ranges and a
web of trails nearby, trade in the engine for a pair of
runners or a bike—perfect for morning jogs, invigo-
rating hikes, cycling tours or sunset strolls.
Trailblazers who reach the end of Etiwanda Falls
Trail are rewarded with a stunning waterfall. Golfers
of every level can tee off at Topgolf, a high-tech,
game-based driving range where sports meet enter-
tainment—complete with a full-service bar and
restaurant. For a thrill that literally takes you higher,
head to iFLY Ontario, where guests from kids to
adults can suit up and experience the rush of indoor
skydiving at speeds of up to 175 km/h.
Within about an hour in any direction, adventure
awaits: Head west towards Los Angeles where the
Pacific Ocean bike routes ride out to Santa Monica or
Huntington Beach. Or enjoy a sunset sail along Marina
del Rey and Venice Beach. Head east further into the
desert to soak up mid-century charm in Palm Springs
or explore the canyons and cacti of Joshua Tree.
Entertainment and Events
For one nostalgic weekend each fall, Euclid Avenue
roars to life as a fleet of classic hot rods and vintage
tailfins rolls in for the annual Route 66 Cruisin’
Reunion. When December arrives, the boulevard
transforms into a winter wonderland, aglow with a
cavalcade of lights, a parade, a reindeer run, and an
appearance from the man in the red suit. And no
matter the season, Toyota Arena keeps the energy
high year-round with a packed lineup of live con-
certs and sporting events.
