What's new

This newest version has more articles about planning your trip in wine country. The B&B and hotel sections have expanded reviews based on client feedback. There are 200 additional maps because GPS is sometimes undependable in wine country so we've placed maps for each winery in the photo section. The winery information has been updated, some new wineries added and others removed (bye bye) due to closure. There is more information about the art of wine tasting and appreciation so that visitors get the most from their time at the wineries.
