Flight
Nearby Airports
Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS) is the primary airport into Sonoma/Napa Valley (~30 miles from downtown Sonoma), with connections to/from many major airports and plenty of ground transportation options available. If you prefer to explore San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area, we recommend flying into San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and renting a car. Alternative airports: Oakland International Airport (OAK) San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) Sacramento International Airport (SMF)
Travel Note
Transportation
TO SONOMA We highly recommend renting a car as your means of transportation (especially if you are NOT flying directly into Sonoma County). This also allows you to explore all that Sonoma/Napa Valley has to offer throughout the weekend. Make sure to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge and through Marin County for our favorite views! Sonoma County Visitors - Full Transportation Guide: https://www.sonomacounty.com/how-to-get-sonoma-county/ AIRPORT SHUTTLES Groome Transportation: (*Drops off in Petaluma, then Uber/Lyft 30 mins to Sonoma) https://groometransportation.com/sonoma-county/sfo-oak/ Traveling with a group? Book a private shuttle: https://napasolanoshuttles.com/sonoma-shuttle-service/ Bay Area private transport: https://www.fiveemeraldlimo.com/ Some hotels offer airport transportation as well. We recommend contacting your hotel directly to explore their options. RIDESHARE Uber/Lyft is available but may be an expensive option and unreliable in some parts of Sonoma/Napa County. See here for a list of airport taxi providers: https://sonomacountyairport.org/passengers/ground-transportation/taxis/ Top rated Bay Area private transport: https://www.fiveemeraldlimo.com/ WEDDING We will provide shuttle transportation to/from the venue at convenient meeting points in Sonoma County (more information to come!). There is also plenty of free parking at the venue if you prefer to drive your party. We would not suggest relying on Uber/Lyft. EXPLORING Renting a car would be our first recommendation, but there are plenty of taxi and private driver companies throughout Wine Country to make your weekend as smooth as possible. One top rated option is Five Emerald Limo. Call/Text (415) 812-1757 to book a driver.
