4.0 out of 5 stars
Best for self guided Napa tour. Quips were great!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Napa Valley (Paperback)
This book is a must for a self-guided Napa tour. The quips about wineries provided a view not often seen. Comments about the smaller producing wineries were true and personal. We met the winemaker, owner, the bookkeeper and cashier at Dutch Henry only to learn they are the only employees. The information in the book is helpful to find not only wineries but eateries too. We even dined at the French Laundry. Ask about the waiting list! Don't leave home without this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very detailed guide to Napa,
By
This review is from: Napa Valley: Land of Golden Vines (Paperback)
This book provides an enormously detailed, accurate guide to Napa Valley. You can literally move from building to building along the main roads of Napa and know what sits in each one when using this guide. It provides phone numbers, hours of operation, and all that one needs to enjoy a visit to Napa. It's almost TOO detailed... if I had one complaint it would be that I wished the authors would provide some more hints on which of the many places they describe so well are REALLY worth a visit! A great companion during a trip to Napa, though.
