The Napa & Sonoma Book: Great Destinations, 8th Edition

Peg Melnik with Tim Fish

Indeed, The Napa & Sonoma Book once again reveals the best the area has to offer in this fully revised edition. Acclaimed by The Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine & Spirits, this guide is as informative to natives as it is to travelers. The book delves into the nooks and crannies of the area to present exquisite nuggets of history, well-known and undiscovered wineries, and a wealth of recreation, eateries, and accommodations. Opinionated but without the puff of pretension, it's exactly the guide travelers of all stripes would want to bring along to help discern the best ways to fill their vacation time with variety.

As in each Great Destinations series guidebook, you'll find important contact information for lodging, dining, shopping, and recreational activities, transportation details, a calendar of events, special “If Time is Short” options, local history, many photos and maps, and essential information for residents. Find out why National Geographic Traveler said the Great Destinations series is “consistently rated the best guides to the regions covered. Readable, tasteful, appealingly designed. Strong on dining, lodging, culture, and history.”

“Crisply written, witty, unflinchingly critical,” says Harvey Steiman of Wine Spectator magazine. “This remains the most thorough and detailed guidebook.”

“Beautifully organized . . . candid.” – San Francisco Examiner

“If you want one all-inclusive guide to the region, this easy-to-read guide fits the bill. Highly recommended. Don't forget this guide!” – Wine & Spirits
