FAQs
Question
When should I arrive into Napa?
Answer
Truly, the choice is up to you!!! Our wedding events officially begin on Friday, but we recommend arriving by Thursday if you'd like to settle in, enjoy a wine tasting (or two), and take in the fall colors. If you're traveling from out of town, arriving a day or two early will give you time to relax, acclimate, and make the most of your Napa weekend.
