California Wine Country: A Sunset Field Guide (Sunset Field Guides)

This user-friendly and highly discerning Field Guide focuses on the Golden State's most popular and newsworthy wine regions--from Napa Valley to the Central Coast to fast-growing Baja. This full-flavored guide will please the palates and temperaments of beginning and experienced wine enthusiasts alike, with all the breadth and expertise readers expect from Sunset. Based on rigorous in-the-field research by two of Sunset magazine's most respected staffers, the recommendations are intentionally selective, rather than comprehensive, directing readers only to California's best wineries and wine-country travel experiences. California Wine Country has all the bells and whistles of a classic travel guide: compact size, gorgeous maps, concise itineraries, and colorful illustrations. Plus easy-to-follow listings for everything from can't-miss wineries to must-see, off-the-path discoveries. And, of course, all the essentials for planning an exceptional trip: information on lodging, restaurants, routes, destinations, and activities.
