Napa Valley may be the most famous U.S. wine country destination, but it’s no longer the only game in town. Temecula, Mendocino, and Paso Robles are just a few of the emerging hot spots where you can get a great glass of pinot noir for a fraction of the cost of a pricey Napa Valley getaway<\/a>. <\/span>Here, we’ve rounded up four of the best wine country vacations for raising your glass<\/a> without breaking the bank. So pack your bags, hit the road and get ready to savor some of California’s<\/a> best grapes. All of these resorts<\/a> are in close proximity to wine tours, vineyards, and tasting rooms. Cheers!<\/span><\/p>\n
