Napa or elsewhere?

My husband and I are planning a California trip, but we only have 9 days. We are starting in San Diego (for a wedding), but can leave from anywhere.





So far, I%26#39;m most interested in wine country (not set on which region), but I have no idea where we should go...to the busier places (Napa and Sonoma) or to one of the smaller locales?





We%26#39;d also like to visit some things like: Yosemite National Park, Lake Tahoe, Palm Springs, and San Francisco. We can%26#39;t do everything in a week...any suggestions?





We love wine, laid back, scenic drives, cute towns, etc.





Napa or elsewhere?


Laid back, scenic, cute towns.....healdsburg in Sonoma County! However, I%26#39;m quite fond of smaller places, such as the wineries in Anderson Valley (stay in Mendocino or Hopland) Around Hopland are several nice wineries and gorgeous scenery; no traffic.





Lodi is another option. Some good wineries, a few really good restaurants, but totally uncrowded and non-touristy. Expect to pay a fraction for food/lodging and never any tasting fees.
