GrassRoutes Travel aims to show you a whole new way to explore and enjoy Northern California Wine Country. Divided up into 5 distinct regions: Undiscovered Coast (From Pt. Reyes Station to Westport along the coast), Cow Country (Cloverdale to Guerneville and environs), Santa Sonoma (Santa Rosa, Sonoma and Petaluma), New Napa (Yountville to American Canyon including Suisun Valley), Suburban Cowboys (Livermore and Pleasanton to Niles). The book is organized around and between these regions with access info for driving (w/ biodiesel fuel sources, of course), biking, and public transportation. Each region is then given the usual GrassRoutes treatment with pointers to the most interesting and inspiring local shops, activities, grub, scenes, etc. The travel guidebook category has gotten into a rut with cookie-cutter series galore. GrassRoutes guides do not recycle the same old tired info. The foundation of each guide is the actual experience of the writers—starting with series founder Serena Bartlett.
