This guide book covers various regions of France including less known regions and contains from basic wine information to beginners to more advanced information for well-experienced travelers. I have traveled to certian wine regions in France a number of times in the past but still find this book very helpful and informative.

I got this book as adjunct to my Frommer's France Guide, but ended up using it as my main tour guide. We weren't primarily doing a wine tour (would have loved to do more, but with three kids along, couldn't do that much). But, as it turns out, almost all of France is a wine region so the book pretty much encompassed every place we went. But what made it really valuable is all the off-the-beaten path tourist attractions it covered. For instance, through this guide we found: Monkey Mountain in Alsace (Barbary Macacques from North Africa, wandering amongst humans in a wooded enclosure), the prehistoric cave of Aze with bones of cave bears and an underground river (not mentioned in Frommer's -- local people in Beaune, 45 minutes away didn't even know about it!), and, best of all, a wine-tasting Chateau in Savigny-les-Beaunes with an attached Motocross and Aviation Museum (head to the museum kids, we'll be along in a while!) I couldn't believe what a great guide it turned out to be for a family trip.
