 West of Napa, there s a California wine valley that s every bit as beautiful, with much more open space. This is Sonoma, and the best way to experience it at one time is by joining hosts Chris Turner and Joanna Curlee in a vintage biplane tour! Back on terra firma, Chris and Joanna pedal through the wine country, stopping only to take in the views and to dine on a gourmet picnic lunch. In the neighboring Russian River Valley, quiet getaways like the Village Inn offer great meals. In this case, it s fresh Sonoma lamb shank prepared osso bucco style.
