Why now
We found $430 per person round trip. That's $34 below the typical fare on this route, which is $464 based on our earlier checks, so you're saving 7%, and the fare carries a Lowest in 30 days badge. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $430 to $797. Prices are all-in, with taxes and fees included, as found when we checked, and they can change. Mid-October is harvest crush season in wine country, so you'll see the valley at its busiest and with the heaviest crowds. The forecast is dry: 92°F and clear on Friday, 86°F on Saturday and 72°F on Sunday, with a 0% chance of rain all three days. It's a good fit for a weekend of tastings and dinners for two. Heads-up: this fare lands Saturday morning, so most of your time there is Saturday and Sunday.
The kind of trip this is
This is a wine-and-food weekend with some spa time mixed in: cabernet tastings, long dinners and maybe a mud bath. It suits a couple best, or two friends who care more about a good table than a packed schedule. The pace is slow by design. Harvest crowds fill the tasting rooms and restaurants, though, so lock in a few reservations and keep the rest loose.
