Why go now
At $386 per person all-in, this weekend is $14 under the $400 median of our 6 earlier checks on this route, or 4% lower. The lowest we saw was $381 on Oct 12, so today's fare is close to the bottom of what we've tracked. Prices move, though, and nothing is held. Mid-October is harvest crush season in Napa & Sonoma, which also brings the heaviest crowds of the year. The forecast is dry all three days: 92°F and clear on Friday, 87°F and partly cloudy on Saturday, 75°F and overcast on Sunday, with lows down to 52°F. That's good weather for tastings and patio lunches. If you'd rather skip the stop, Frontier also has a nonstop at $411 per person that leaves at 8:20 PM and lands at 10:25 PM, but you lose Friday afternoon in the valley.
The kind of trip this is
This is a wine-and-food long weekend at an easy pace: cabernet tastings, a long lunch, maybe a spa afternoon or a dawn balloon ride. It suits couples first, and also a small group of friends who like planning their days around reservations. The morning flight lands at 11:05 AM on Friday, so with 2 nights you get most of three days in the valley without rushing.
