N Ca Hwy 12

How is Hwy 12 from San Rosa on the 101 to the I5? We looking to take a drive through the Napa, wine country area.

I realize it will probably be a slow go, but looking to see some of the wine country on our trip up to Northern CA next year.

    Actually we will be coming from the North, heading home. We are going as far North as Grants Pass Or and then taking in the sites off the 101 until North of SF and then heading back to the I5 for the run home.

    Good route, scenic and goes close to Jack London's home. I have driven it a number of times. You should do fine in that rig all the way. When you get to Sonoma, Find a parking place and tour the main part of town. I highly recommend cheese from the cheese factory and bread from the bakery on the square. Mary's Pizza Shack restaurants get their bread from this bakery.
    From Napa to I-80 is no problem. From Susuin to Rio Vista needs watching. If it is real windy, that stretch takes the brunt of it, so be prepared.

    Enjoy!


    Thanks for all the ideas, looks like we will be adding this to our route.
