The Napa Valley Book: EVERYTHING You Need to Know About California’s Premium Wine Country
This is the third edition of this popular guidebook to the Napa Valley. First published in 2003, this latest version by local author Mick Winter includes 252 pages of detailed information on restaurants, wineries, lodging, spas, parks and camping, sightseeing, shopping, events, arts and entertainment. Additional sections cover historic attractions, a list of Napa Valley wineries, and a special 50-page supplement on Napa Valley wines, vineyards, winemaking, wine tasting, understanding a wine label, and a glossary of wine terms and pronunciation. The book also includes photographs of key locations throughout the valley and more than 700 website links.
Customer Review: To see Napa, see this book
Whether you live in or visit the Napa Valley, you can rely on this guide. My copy of the previous edition is heavily flagged and underlined because there is so much to do and see here. Now that I have the new edition, my future house guests will benefit as much as I. While I wish the review of the Lobster Shack gave more menu details and were as enthusiastic about the restaurant as my local and visiting friends and I are, we always consult the Napa Valley Book to plan our itinerary. And the guide never fails us. You can make the most of the valley if you make the most of this book.
Customer Review: 3rd Edition the Best
The latest version is even better, more detail, more wine info, more listings, and still a pleasure to read. Using the suggestions pays off nicely, but just reading and day-dreaming is pretty good, too.
