Each chapter includes a map of the region with main auto routes, towns, rivers, and wineries; a sidebar on a handful of the best restaurants to taste the specialities of the region; and a sidebar recommending at least five local hotels. Gorgeous full-colour photos tempt you on every page with scenic vistas of the vineyards, evocative views into ancient caves, and the historic homes and chateaux of each region.
