  1. Weekend Escape: Napa Valley for the whole family

    Many Napa Valley wineries are beginning to welcome visits from families, and they're making a serious effort to keep the kids engaged. Lest we forget, wineries are farms, and in many cases they have farm animals, game birds, fish ponds, picnic grounds and other kid magnets. Not all of wine country is kid-friendly, mind you, but you can find ample attractions to make this a satisfying destination for serious wine lovers … and grape juice lovers too. The tab: We spent about $647 for a family of four, including $315 for one night at the Villagio Inn, $260 on meals and $72 on a castle tour and wine tasting.

  5. Weekend Escape: More than 'Peanuts' in Santa Rosa

    Fifty miles north of San Francisco, straddling U.S. Highway 101, sits Santa Rosa, former home of Charles M. Schulz and the gang from "Peanuts." From the highway, as you boom past at 70 mph, Santa Rosa appears to be just another somewhere on the way to somewhere else. But a short detour east into downtown or west into the wine country quickly proves otherwise. The tab: We spent $163 for a night at the Hotel La Rose, dinner for two at Willi's Wine Bar was $84, including wine, and a lavish picnic from Whole Foods Market came to $43. Gas and incidentals added $100 to the tab. Wine at Bella and Iron Horse vineyards, of course, was extra.

  6. French wine could get pricey, climate change study says

    That bottle of Bordeaux you put aside may become even rarer in the next few decades as climate change could reduce wine grape production in traditional parts of the world and move it elsewhere, researchers say. Danish Cabernet, anyone?

  10. Wine country eating: Bell Street Farm

    When I was in Solvang&nbsp; a couple of weeks ago for <a href="http://californiagaragistes.com/">the Garagiste Festival: Southern Exposure</a>, afterwards I headed to <a href="http://www.fulloflifefoods.com/Full_of_Life_Flatbread/Full_of_Life_Flatbread_Home.html">Full of Life Flatbread</a> in Los Alamos for dinner. The place is only open Thursday through Sunday and I&rsquo;d never happened to be up there on any of those days before that weekend. I scarfed up more than my fair share of rustic flatbreads from the big wood-fired oven in the back.
