"Once you flip through [Hidden Napa Valley's] gorgeous pages you will, eventually, come across a photo that speaks to you, as if Walker had somehow, without ever knowing you, captured a private moment - some time when you let your guard down, willingly got sucked into the gorgeousness of it all, and that you thought was only known by you and Napa."

lover who has visited Napa or for locals who will be dazzled by Wes Walker's
photographs...
The book takes the reader on a sensual journey through all the seasons of the Valley: Spring with its fields of bright yellow mustard and awakening vines; summer's bounty of fresh produce and plump grape vines; autumn photographs capture rust and gold canopies in the vineyards and the valley floor shrouded in soft fog; winter brings quiet and scenes of wine barrels aging in the cellars."
