Why go now
At $313 per person all-in, this nonstop fare is $136 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 30% gap. We saw 12 offers for Oct 23–25, running from $313 to $449, and $313 is also the lowest of our recent checks. Late October is harvest crush season in wine country, so the valley is at its busiest, with the heaviest crowds of the year. The forecast is clear and warm: highs of 83°F Friday, 87°F Saturday and 89°F Sunday, with rain chances between 3% and 6%. That's weather for a long tasting day, a bike ride through the vines or dinner outside in Yountville. The fare and hotel prices are what we found at the time we checked, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a food-and-wine weekend with a spa streak: cabernet tastings, long lunches and a mud bath if you want one. It suits a couple best, or two friends who'd rather sit on a winery terrace than rush around. Saturday is your one full day on the ground, so the pace is slow on purpose. Pick one valley and stay in it.
