to & from

For those flying in from out of town, my first airport of choice is Sacramento – newish airport, affordable flights and usually zero traffic (and hour to Carneros).  Second choice is Oakland.  In last place SFO – I feel like there are always delays or issues flying in and out of there.

Where to Stay

  • Carneros Resort & Spa: Super convenient since it's south in the valley, great restaurants on property along with a great pool that's open 24 hrs, adorable cottages with hotel bikes to use.  Also an adult pool with no kids allowed (family pool on property too)
  • Hotel Yountville: Remodeled in the last 5 years, lots in walking distance in Yountville, central in the valley.
  • Bardessono: LEED certified and very environmentally conscious, heated Japanese toilets in the lobby:), great location in Yountville.
  • Meadowood: Very private, spacious (feels like adult summer camp:)), 3 star Michelin restaurant.
