Many folks think of California's Wine Country as being centered in Napa Valley. The state actually has many wine country regions, encouraged by perfect climates for grape-growing.

These photos show the lesser-known wine country region between Napa Valley and the North Coast. The wine is just as outstanding and the scenery is just as picturesque, but the roads are generally not as crowded. Highly recommended by GoodRides for great riding, eating, and lodging....this area has it all.
