Transportation
The area is served by San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International airport. Over 40 airlines, including numerous international carriers, serve San Francisco International. Oakland is a smaller, easier-to-negotiate airport served by just over 10 carriers. Once youve deplaned, youll need a rental car to enjoy and explore Napa Valley. Most major national car rental companies have outlets at San Francisco International with quite a few located in Oakland. One good alternative is to begin your trip with a few days in San Francisco and rent a car when you are ready to leave the city. If you choose that itinerary, youll find ground transportation and information on the lower levels of each terminal.
In-Season Costs
Napa Valley is an extremely expensive playground. Expect to pay a bare minimum of $125 nightly for a room unless you run into a rare bargain. After that, the sky is the limit, with lots of spas and luxury bed and breakfasts this can be a break-the-bank trip, but vacationers whove toured wine country say its unforgettable. Plan to spend around $30 to dine without wine and around $12 for lunch at a moderate restaurant --- but dont stop there, the area is full of gourmet restaurants that are special-occasion perfect.
