Encompassing Santa Rosa, Sonoma and Napa, Wine Country dining is some of the best in the country for ultra chic restaurants specializing in the artistry of pairing wine and food. With vineyards, rolling hills and a bucolic yet worldly vibe, the Wine Country, just an hour north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge, is a must-do day trip from San Francisco. San Francisco visitors with the time to explore the Wine Country's dining won't be disappointed and for local San Franciscans who need a convenient and completely transportive escape from urban life, the Wine Country is it. For a historic, main street dining vibe, try Santa Rosa. For laid back Wine Country atmosphere, Sonoma country restaurants are the ideal choice. For the chic Wine Country experience, Napa is the place for some of the Wine Country's sleekest (and most expensive) restaurants and Wine Country hotels.
