Directions to Meridian Jacobs

7811 N. Meridian Rd., Vacaville, CA 95688
707-678-5750
From the Bay Area:
I-80 to Vacaville. Take 505 North; take Midway exit. 
Turn right (east) on Midway Rd. 
Go 1.5 miles and turn left (north) on Meridian. That's the 2nd stop sign. 
Our place is about 2 miles north of Midway. 
If you miss 505 you can continue on I-80 to Meridian Rd. Cross the freeway and continue north on N. Meridian until you get to 7811.
From Sacramento:
Take I-80 to Dixon. Take the last Dixon exit--Dixon Ave./West A exit. 
Don't take the first right, but turn right at the Yield Sign. That's Dixon Ave and you will be driving toward the hills (west). 
Drive about 3 miles to Meridian. 
Turn left. Meridian Jacobs is 2/10 mile from Dixon Ave.
Parking:
If you are coming for a class or to purchase items, park on the right side of the driveway (facing the grape vines). The shop is the building behind the house. If you are coming for a more crowded event drive in and we will have parking areas designated.  Please do not park on the main road. In the winter you might get stuck in the mud--there is NO hard shoulder. At all times, traffic on this road is fast.
