What is the nearest airport to Napa Valley California?

Question

I plan on flying from LAS (Las Vegas) to Napa Valley or close to it and need to know what the closest airport is.

Answer 1

If you are a private pilot, the closest airport to Napa, CA is Napa County Airport (5 miles from Napa).

If you are a tourist taking a commercial flight, by distance, Oakland International (OAK) is 49.5 miles from Napa; San Francisco International (SFO) is 58.6 miles from Napa.

I used to travel to the Bay area regularly. The drive from OAK is easier and faster; getting in and out of OAK is easier as well.

Answer 2

I'd say that Oakland is probably the closest airport (mileage wise), however Sacramento is usually easier because the traffic isn't as bad. Finally SFO (San Francisco) is a little further, but does hook up to "Evans" which is the bus trasport in Napa. This costs about $30 and will drive you from the airport to Napa. It's really convenient and cheaper than getting a van. Check out www.evanstransportation.com for more info about the shuttle.

Answer 5

SAnta Rosa has a snall airport wich is about 30 miles away. However, you will need to connect through LAX.

From Vegas your best option is to fly non -stop to either Oakland or San Francisco which are arund 40-50 miles away from Napa Valley and should take less then 1 hour depending on traffic

- The Bay Area tends to be cool in December. But cool is a relative term - San Francisco will be distinctly cooler than Napa/Sonoma. But it's far more temperate than where I live in Upstate NY. The weather in March will be warmer, but that's the 'rainy' season. The area doesn't get a lot of rain, but there is more in late Winter. - depends on how much time you plan to spend there. My suggestion is that a day of touring wineries and tasting wines is sufficient - after that, they get repetitive. Something that we have found to be a nice excursion is the luncheon trip on the Napa Valley Wine Train. It leaves from Napa late morning (11ish) and takes about 3 1/2 hours, so it pretty much kills a second day. That said, my experience is that Sonoma is less crowded and more friendly than Napa - still lots of wineries in both areas, and while they all charge for tastings, I think the Sonoma wineries are be bit less pricey. Great restaurants in both areas. And you can easily drive from one to the other since they are less than an hour apart. - some of the more interesting wineries are Castelo de Amoroso (for the architecture), Clos Pegase (for the art) and Chateau Monteleone (for the overall setting) - all in Napa. In Sonoma, try Gundlach Bundschu (famous for their zinfandel), Hop Kiln, and Chateau St .Jean (famous for chardonnay). - there are a number of art galleries in both Napa and Sonoma, as well as a few historical sites. Forget shopping - you can do that at home. My suggestion is to continue north toward the Russian River and then find your way to the coast (at Bodega Bay) and then follow Route 1 back to the City, stopping at Muir Woods, Marin Headlands, and Sausalito along the way. - for driving - if you don't have your own GPS, rent one with the car. I always take my own and have it preprogrammed with the places we want to go. Traffic in the Bay Area is pretty heavy - you don't want to be struggling with maps. - San Francisco is expensive. You could probably save a little by staying south of the City toward Burlingame (near the airport). Since you have a car, getting into the City will be easy. - one of the popular things to do in the City is Alcatraz. You need to book your ferry transport in advance - they will sell out! A good suggestion is to book on the first ferry of the day since that will be the least crowded and will get you to the island before the crowds.

Answer 7

I recommend Sacramento over Oakland or San Francisco. It takes about 1 hour and 5 minutes to drive, and usually has less traffic then going to the bay area (it really depends on what time of day, and what day of the week). You will enjoy Napa. Lots of great wineries and restaurants. Check out Southwest and Alaska airlines from LAS. Maybe I'll run into you here.

Answer 8

San Francisco 57 miles - 1 hour 9 min no traffic
Oakland 49.6 miles - 55 min no traffic
Sacramento 61.2 miles away 1 hour 6 min no traffic

I like to fly into Sacramento whenever possible. It is about the same to SFO as it is to Sacramento. I try to avoid San Francisco Airport wherever possible. The traffic going in and out of it is horrible during mornings and late afternoon rush time. When I travel north to south on the west coast via Southwest I like to go to Sacramento. Oakland and SFO have an airport shuttle to the Napa Area called Evan's. I would definately recommend using that. But will add like 2 hours travel time from time you get out of baggage claim.

EDIT - Evan's Airport Service does not service Sacramento. please visit their website at evanstransportation.com. They only serve Oakland & SF airports. To my knowledge there are no door to door services going to Sac from Napa. Maybe Fairfield.

Answer 9

If you are going to need to get a shuttle van i would go to Sacramento. I have had nothing but great experiences there. All 3 times i have gotten a shuttle in San Fran they have left without me while i was on time. The traffic in San Fran is terrible as well. That is where you will spend the most of your time. Go to Sacramento and you will avoid major hassles. Good Luck and have a safe trip :)
