Valley Wine Tour

On the heels of the hugely successful “California Wine Map”, The Wine Appreciation Guild has just released the “Quick Access Napa-Sonoma Wine Country Map and Guide” spotlighting the wineries and vineyards of the countryÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â’s wine capital. This full color, topographically precise map is the most comprehensive Napa-Sonoma wine map on the market with over 400 wineries and vineyards.

“Quick Access Napa-Sonoma” features a detailed listing of wineries and vineyards in Napa and Sonoma Counties, including name, address, phone, tastings and public or by appointment only tours. It also lists area tasting rooms and gourmet groceries. The map’s simple accordion fold makes it easy-to-use, even when opened to its full size of 12 x 26 inches. And one doesnÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â’t have to be the rough and tumble itinerant to appreciate that itÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â’s laminated.

“The success of our recent ‘California Wine Map’ told us that people not only appreciate California’s wine country, but also appreciate an accurate, well-made, user-friendly map,” said H. Hesse, a mapmaker since 1967 and founder of Global Graphics. “The number one request we received was for a map focusing specifically on Napa-Sonoma and we were delighted to once again combine our passion for cartography with our appreciation of this beautiful area.”

The California Wine Map became a quick favorite among the states professional wine country day-trippers. Charles E. Olken, wine writer for the Los Angeles Times called it “One of the best and least expensive guides on the market,” and American Airlines American Way magazine declared it a “must have.” Anthony Dias Blue on KFWB-FM (Los Angeles) said, “If you travel in search of wine, you’re going to love the California Wine Map. This isn’t just one of those slick brochures published by the local wine-country tourist board. It’s a full-fledged, state-of-the-art, satellite-generated map of California made by a well-known cartography company called Global Graphics.”

The California Wine Map was also highly recommended by The New York Times, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Oakland Tribune, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Wine & Spirits Magazine.

Global Graphics maps feature full color thematic cartography, based on satellite photography and global information systems, and use data from several sources to ensure information is up-to-date and complete. Global Graphics maps are among the most accurate and user-friendly on the market.

Best Resource for NAPA / Sonoma
By Trip Hosley
I have purchased and gifted 20+ of these maps, THE BEST for traveling in CA wine country. Pre-planning is tough, this map lets you see where you are in relation to wineries and call ahead for tastings etc. based on where you end up. Laminated with the map on one side and all the numbers you need on the back, far superior to flipping through a wine book, or trying to “zoom out” on your nav system and see whats around.

We like to drive up, hit a winery, decide on where to go for dinner, then find another winery between where we are and where we want to be. Far superior to trying to plan it all out in advance.

A must bring on your next trip
By Lover of Great Books
This is a great visual tool to help lay out your next trip to Napa Valley. Small and compact but laminated so you don’t have to worry about wrinkles.

A must-buy for your next wine country tour
By Deanna Breglia
For my latest trip to Napa/Sonoma wine country, I purchased several books beforehand in the hopes that, among all of our choices, we’d be able to find the perfect, off-the-beaten-path winery. We did in Tres Sabores, although sadly most of their wine had been damaged in a fire.

Having a good book or two on the wineries and restaurants is helpful, but in the end, this map, with it’s simple laminated 4-fold design, road map with wineries and tasting rooms labelled on one side, and on the other side, an alphabetical list of wineries, their hours and phone numbers, was the most useful.

Whatever the price, this clear and comprehensive tool is worth three times as much. And definitely stop by and have a chat with the folks at Tres Sabores.
