California's Central Coast: The Ultimate Winery Guide: From Santa Barbara to Paso Robles

Author: Mira Advani Honeycutt

Nearly two million people visit Central Coast wineries each year, drawn to the breathtaking scenery and stellar wines of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Due in part to the success of the Oscar-winning movie Sideways, the region has experienced a surge in popularity yet maintains its warm hospitality and low-key atmosphere. This entirely new installment in our popular series is the first illustrated book of its kind on this region. Stunning color photography makes the guide as evocative for armchair travelers as it is functional for those getting ready to hit the tasting rooms.
