Product Description
Just one hour from San Francisco, California's wine country has long been a popular side trip from the city; but its world-class wineries, attractions, and amenities deserve more than a brief encounter. Written for those who want to delve beyond the big-name wineries and roadside offerings, Hidden Wine Country uncovers the region's true connoisseur culture. It starts by letting readers in on the area's biggest secret: most of the wineries are small operations run by winemakers personally involved in the craft. Though Hidden Wine Country includes thorough reviews of the well-known wineries, it also covers dozens of vineyards where the tour guide may well be the owner. There's much more to the wine country than its sweet nectar. Parks, bed and breakfasts, hot-spring spas, ballooning, biking adventures, and historic spots are just a smattering of what is covered in Hidden Wine Country. With fine dining now the second-greatest passion of the area, this guide includes an array of culinary options, from how to stock a picnic basket with gourmet cheeses and fresh fruits to where to savor haute cuisine prepared by master chefs. ...

If you can only have One Wine Country Guide Book............
This is a nice little book that doesn't try to be all things to the California Wine Country Visitor.It has some really fine touches:

The three-day Weekend itinerary is one that works for a first time visitor, and while I would change few stops, I have been touring here since 1968!

The little inserts on many pages are very up-to-date (the new wine cruises up the Sacarmanto River) and the informative ones (like the one about Oakville Grocery and the historical tid-bit on page 86) give the reader something to look forward to on every turn of a page.

The black & white maps could have used a little more detail (have to say something needs improvement) but the color AAA ones are a nice, convenient touch.

All-in-all there may be better tour books around, but not as concise, well written, informative, and available for only $14.

Going to the California Wine Country?Buy this book!!! You will enjoy your trip much, much more with it along. ... Read more
