Napa County Airport is significantly less congested than San Francisco International (SFO) or Oakland (OAK), putting you in wine country within 15 minutes of landing. For visits to Sonoma's west side, Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS) is a better option. Our brokers coordinate with top FBOs for direct black-car transfers to Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, Opus One, and other by-appointment-only wineries.
