Book Reviews of Napa Valley Tour Guide

Book Review: Trip Delight - Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars

It's a superb format to preview a trip prior to actually hitting the open road and wineries of Napa Valley.

This is really a terrific "three in one" guide. The Expedition Guide which accompanies the computer CD and the two touring discs is filled with fascinating history, facts, tips, maps, photographs, wine vocabulary, science, humor and trivia about Napa's wineries and local color. The Guide alone is excellent.

In addition to viewing the brilliantly prepared Guide text, the reader is treated to Antonia Allegra's most entertaining audio tour (on two driving discs). It's like having your own personal guide tell you all sorts of fascinating tales, tidbits and history about the best of Napa Valley ... and we, as listeners, enjoy each and every story. In her most pleasant voice, Allegra skillfully presents the facts and related bits omitting nothing except the smell of the cork and the taste of the grape!

The CD has interactive sections as well as animated movies and quiz games. By the end of the "tour", you'll feel as if you've treated yourself to the world of vinification (converting grapes to wine), enology (science of wine and wine making), and the beauties and surprises found throughtout the Napa Valley region.
You'll have fun broadening your knowledge of "God's country/Napa Valley" in the comfort of your home and thereafter, in the convenience and comfort of your car as you personally tour the 16 stops (encompassing 58 miles) of Napa Valley, the wineries and surroundings. You don't have to be an enophile to enjoy this presentation; however, if you tour and taste, there's even a "wine tasting" record in the Guide for your personal observations and notations.

Great gift for yourself or anyone interested in a good read-&-listen-&-learn about Napa Valley, wine, California history and travel. We highly recommend this cleverly formatted, well thought out, brilliantly presented and fairly priced Expedition Guide. It'll be a treat for all five senses. Cheers!
