Flight
There are three major airports in the bay area that you can fly into, San Francisco International (SFO), Oakland International (OAK), and Norman Y. Mineta San Jose Intl. (SJC). We recommend checking flights to all three, SFO and OAK in particular. The venue is located in Rutherford which is in the heart of Napa Valley, California's wine country. All three airports are between 75-100 miles from the venue, or roughly a 1.5-2 hour drive.
Travel Note
While Auberge Du Soleil is a hotel, it is a very small, boutique hotel, that requires a 3-night minimum, making it unsuitable for hotel blocks. Given that there is not one, but several smaller towns nearby, we decided it was best to simply offer a list of possible options and let everyone decide for themselves where they would like to stay. Below is a list of recommended hotels, provided by our venue.
Travel Note
Depending on where you decide to stay, of course, we recommend renting a car which you can either do at any of the airports you fly into or from one of the various car sharing startups, e.g. Getaround, Zipcar, etc.
Travel Note
In addition, we recommend looking at Airbnb rentals in the area as there are many great options. In fact, some of our guests have already had success booking accommodations at quite reasonable prices this way, particularly with larger groups.
