Travel Tips

Flight

sfo

San Francisco Airport will have the most flight options, and is a 2-hour drive to downtown sonoma. you can drive right through San Francisco, or stay a night there, and cruise right over the Golden Gate Bridge!

Flight

oak

Oakland Airport will have fewer flight options (still plenty!) and a shorter drive time of 1.5 hours. it's equidistant to SF and has a subway line in!

Flight

smf

Sacramento Airport will offer the least flight flexibility, but it is a quick 1 - 1.5 hour drive avoiding SF/bay area traffic. it's just NE of wine country

Rental Car

uber & lyft

strongly encouraged for convenience and price. the bay area is full of drivers. often much more affordable, even over a few-days-stretch, than renting a car

Travel Note

san francisco

san francisco, where we call home, is a wonderful pit stop between SFO/OAK and wine country

Travel Note

wine country

we encourage you to stay in downtown sonoma or sonoma valley. but wine country is vast and there's much to do! hint: uber & lyft everywhere NORTH drive due north from sonoma for a scenic drive & wineries for tasting stops! some may argue it's more beautiful than napa/st. helena highway GLEN ELLEN - smaller wine country vibes, 15 minutes north, great wineries KENWOOD - 25 min, some of our favorite wineries are here HEALDSBURG - 1 hour NW of sonoma NORTHEAST driving east from sonoma gets you to downtown napa. from there, driving north up the st. helena highway thru wine country is a must NAPA - established, luxurious, touristy, lots to do DOWNTOWN NAPA - 20 min east of sonoma YOUNTVILLE - N of napa (35 min from sonoma) OAKVILLE - N of yountville (40 min) ST.
