STAY AND PLAYWhat is it about a bedand-breakfast or country inn that makes it such an appealing place for a Wine Country stay? Or an upscale urban hotel or a world-class luxury spa and resort? Maybe its the elegant comfort of the surroundings, the unabashed (but never intrusive) friendliness of the hosts and staff, or the quiet privacy of the experience that makes these accommodations fit so well with wine touring. Or perhaps its the sheer decadence of being pampered by crisp service and thoughtful amenities, of guiltless sleeping in . . . . Perhaps its unwise to over-analyze questions that are so fundamental to enjoyment of Wine Country pleasures. Not knowing for certain is part of the romance that makes the Wine Country such a pleasing destination.

HOW ACCOMMODATINGThe Wine Country offers a variety of lodging options ranging from crisp and clean motels, to luxury bed and breakfast inns, to world-class hotels and resortswith just about everything you can imagine in between. Whatever your need, theres an option to fit every taste and budget.

Helena, and Rutherford areas. Napa South covers the bottom half of the valley including the Oakville and Yountville areas, the town of Napa, and the Napa side of Carneros. Mendocino County and Lake County are each comprised of four wine districts. In Mendocino County, the districts are Hopland and Redwood Valley along Highway 101, Anderson Valley along Highway 128, and Mendocino Coast along Highway 1 (the Coastal Highway). In Lake County, they are Guenoc Valley and Red Hills along Highway 29, High Valley along Highway 20, and Clear Lake surrounding the large lake of the same name.

Getting HereBY AIR: The closest major airports are San Francisco International (SFO), Oakland International (OAK), and Sacramento International (SMF). SFO and SMF are both about 60 miles from the town of Napa at the southern end of the Napa Valley; OAK is somewhat closer, about 50 miles. Santa Rosa now offers direct flights from Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. If you plan ahead, you can see the Wine Country by limousine. See our Phone Directory of Wine Tours and Limo Services at the back of this magazine. BY CAR: The Wine Country is served by two major highways. U.S. Highway 101 runs north-south, connecting San Francisco with Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Interstate 80 runs northeast-southwest between San Francisco and Sacramento, connecting to California highway 12 running into southern Napa and Sonoma counties. Important branches off I-80 are I-880, running along the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, and I-580, connecting Oakland with San Rafael on the western side of the Bay.
