Lonely Planet San Francisco Bay Area & Wine Country Road Trips

Clear and easy to access, this title will be familiar to previous users of Lonely Planet guidebooks. It is geared toward those looking to visit San Francisco Bay Area tourist sights and nearby wineries. This guidebook has great maps, including a pull-out driving map. The city sections are similar as to how Lonely Planet presents cities in its other titles, focusing on San Francisco city, Marin County and the Bay Area, and Napa and Sonoma wine country. All sections feature recommended wineries, sights, tours, accommodations, dining, drinking/nightlife, and pertinent travel details. The road trip section is an excellent reason to buy the book—the four road trips are two to five days in length. Each trip encompasses points of interest, recommended audiences, best times of year to travel, photos to take, maps, detours, wildlife, wineries, and more. The book also includes a California driving section, of primary interest to international travelers, but also of use to other road trippers.
