We have an older version of this book, but I assume the formats are similar. Ours is getting tattered and torn - we pull it out to plan wine country getaways, when we're on our wine country adventures, and when we want to look up wineries we visited (or think we visited!).

The chapters of the book are divided by county (Napa/Sonoma) and then into wineries, restaurants, accommodations, and other miscellaneous stuff. This format makes it extremely easy to find what you're looking for and to plan your day by the area you'll be visiting. All of the basic information is included, and the reviews are honest.

I do wish they'd included some of the more obscure wineries, but I guess those are left for only the most dedicated of winos to find :)

A perfect travel companion!



This book was the most helpful of all the Napa travel guides I have purchased.

Lots of great information! Unfortunately, someone ripped out the maps in my copy purchased @Barnes&Noble. What kind of animal does that???
