The route
The drive to Napa, and how long it really takes
Napa is a drive north across the Bay: through the East Bay over the Bay Bridge, or across the Golden Gate Bridge. Your chauffeur picks the route for the traffic on the day. Distances and times below come from public sources, and real drive times vary with traffic.
SFO to downtown Napa
About 58 miles
Around an hour and a half on average. Afternoon traffic toward the North Bay can add more.
San Francisco to downtown Napa
About 50 miles
About an hour on a weekday, sometimes up to two hours on a weekend, depending on traffic.
Our Napa Valley stops include Napa, Yountville, St. Helena, Calistoga. Festival weekends are slower still: read how we handle the traffic in our BottleRock Napa Valley guide.

How far is Napa from SFO, and how long is the drive?
Napa Valley is about 58 miles from San Francisco International Airport. Typical drive time is around an hour and a half, and afternoon traffic toward the North Bay can make it longer, so we recommend building in a buffer if you have a winery reservation.

Downtown Napa is about 50 miles north of San Francisco. It typically takes about an hour on a weekday and sometimes up to two hours on a weekend, depending on traffic.
How do I meet my chauffeur at SFO?
Two options: curbside pickup (your driver meets you within 5 minutes of your call) or Meet & Greet, where a chauffeur greets you inside with a name sign and helps with luggage for an additional $60.

Yes. Napa Valley wine tours are offered with custom vineyard routes, and a cooler and stemware are available. Full days are booked as Hourly As Directed with a 3-hour minimum. The full reserved time is charged even if the trip ends early, and overtime is billed in 15-minute increments at the booked hourly rate.
