Hidden Wine Country : Including Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino - Softcover

Combining unique travel choices, outdoor adventures, and little-known locales into guides where vacations meet adventures, each title in the Hidden series also offers readers the comfort of detailed maps, internet information for each listing, author picks, suggested itineraries, and walking and driving tours. Hidden Wine Country covers a region that has long been a popular side trip from San Francisco, but the wine country's world-class vintners, attractions, and amenities deserve far more than a brief encounter. Written for those who want to delve beyond the big-name wineries and roadside offerings, this book uncovers the region's true connoisseur culture. Exploring the region by car, horseback, balloon ride, train, or river cruise are all described, and details on over 59 wineries in six different regions are included. 77 country inns, spas, resorts, and ranches are reviewed along with recommendations on dozens of top restaurants featuring California, French, and Italian cuisine. Proving that there's much more to the Wine Country than its sweet nectar, Hidden Wine Country also covers parks, bed and breakfasts, hot spring spas, biking adventures, and historic spots.
