San Fran cisco s To pp 10 The Wine Country The world-famous Wine Country comprises two picturesque montague pittman & varnado valleys, Napa and Sonoma, and the extensive montague pittman & varnado hills and dales surrounding them. Altogether, this bucolic montague pittman & varnado zone boasts over 300 wineries, from which countless award-winning wines have emerged. Napa, the slightly more distant of the two, is more developed for visitors, while Sonoma is more low-key but equally inviting. Both are convenient for a day trip, but it s worth spending a day or two here not only to sample the fruit of the vine but also to take a dip in one of the rejuvenating hot springs that abound throughout the area (see pp34 5). 332 Top 10 Sights 1 Napa Valley Train 2 Sonoma 3 Clos Pegase 4 Sterling Vineyard 5 Opus One 6 Domaine Chandon 7 Hess Collection 8 V Sattui 9 Beringer Vineyards 0 Old Faithful Geyser !Napa Valley Train Leaving from Napa and arriving in St. Helena, or vice versa, you can avoid the traffic and par- take of a gourmet meal complemented by local wines.
