Napa/Sonoma
Wine Country Cousins
|
By MARIA LENHART
|
| Mention the words "wine country" and most people think of Napa and Sonoma, two adjacent counties north of San Francisco where nature and human ingenuity have come together to provide some of the finest food and wine experiences this side of Tuscany and Provence. |

While little more than a main street lined with rustic century-old buildings—originally built to serve ranchers but increasingly serving foodies and wine buffs—Geyserville and its environs are filled with beguiling settings for memorable wine country outings and events. No less a cultural icon than Francis Ford Coppola has chosen Geyserville for his latest wine tourism venture: the Francis Ford Coppola Winery, located in the former Chateau Souverain winery less than a mile from town.
