 Interactive Map a New Web Site Feature – A First
We are very excited about the addition to our web site of an interactive map of the appellation using Google Maps technology. Just click on the link to the left on the home page and you can choose either a satellite view of Appellation St. Helena or the street map version. The appellation’s boundaries are clearly defined in red and place markers locate our member wineries and vineyards. A click on a place marker, or the name of the winery in the column to the left, opens a page of information about the winery, often including photography or virtual tours. You’ll find web site and email links as well as driving directions.
Google Maps requires nothing more than a browser. For even more capability, such as locating restaurants, hotels, shops and other information, you can download Google Earth, which is free, and have all kinds of fun planning a visit to Appellation St. Helena.
Our web master, Bob Dye, President of Charnu Winery and a member of Appellation St. Helena, is very enthusiastic about being able to provide the very latest information regarding tasting room hours, wine releases and so on. As he points out, the Internet is now the preferred tool for staying up to date in marked contrast to yesterday’s more static paper map and CDs.
Since we are the first appellation group to offer the Google Maps service, forgive us if we brag a bit. We hope you enjoy using it, and we’d love to hear your feedback.
