Frommer's Napa and Sonoma Day by Day (Frommer's Day by Day - Pocket)

Frommer's Napa and Sonoma Day by Day (Frommer's Day by Day - Pocket) Review

• Sonoma Day by Day features 30 smart itinerary ideas for your trip, all with gorgeous color photos and maps.
• We've included an itinerary to meet almost every need, from "Wine Country for Romance" to "Wine Country on a Budget" to even "Wine Country for Nondrinkers," plus Napa & Sonoma itineraries in 1, 2, or 3 days. You'll find lists of the best dining, accommodations, and wineries, details on the area's "most charming towns," outdoor hiking itineraries -- plus a chapter devoted to San Francisco itineraries.
• Our author is a California native to the core; she was educated at Stanford and UCLA, and was associate editor at the Los AngelesTimes. She's done all the nitty-gritty updates needed for this second edition, as well as the not-as-difficult frequent tastings of these wines on site.
• Frommer's Napa & Sonoma Day by Day also includes a color fold-out map.
