Located just one hour north of the bustling city of San Diego, Fallbrook is often dubbed the Avocado Capital of the World. Boasting a Mediterranean climate, this area features not only a large avocado crop, but is also home to several large nurseries filled with tropical plants. Fallbrook is brimming with fun activities for visitors and locals alike, whether exploring the educational Gem and Mineral Society Museum, tasting wine at the Fallbrook Winery, dining at a trendy restaurant or golfing at one of the area's championship courses. To top it all off, Fallbrook is home to a host of unique accommodation options ranging from posh resorts to intimate bed and breakfasts. Every April Fallbrook is abuzz during the Avocado Festival, a one-day event that commemorates the avocado's importance in the community. Festival highlights include guacamole tastings, culinary contests and live entertainment.
