I'm going to just use Californian examples, given how diverse the state is ecologically, economically, and culturally, this was bound to happen.
1. The little village of Sausalito, CA despite being so close to San Francisco carries itself more like some snooty, tourist Northern Italian town on a lake in the alps than anything else.
2. Wine Country is also it's own little world that is almost uncannily like the eastern end of Tuscany, northwest bit of Umbria...same thing goes for Gilroy, even though that's garlic land.
3. Most Reservation areas in the state (for obvious reasons)
4. The Channel Islands, such as Santa Catalina have a surprisingly different sort of ecosystem from the mainland, the tiny town of Avalon is absurdly hard to describe.
5. Mount Whitney
