Why go now
$227 per person is $51 below the typical fare on this route, which our earlier checks put at $278. That's an 18% drop and the reason for the 18% below typical badge. For two people it's $454, all-in with taxes and fees as found when we checked. We saw 12 offers ranging from $227 to $299, and this one sits at the bottom of that range. Late October falls in harvest crush season, so expect the heaviest crowds of the year in the valley and plan tastings ahead. The forecast looks kind: clear to mostly clear, highs of 75–80°F, lows down to 48°F and a rain chance no higher than 10%. It's a strong fit for a weekend of tastings and dinners for two. Prices change, though, and we can't promise this fare will still be there.
The kind of trip this is
A wine-and-food getaway with a romantic, slow pace. Days go to cabernet tastings, long lunches and maybe a spa stop, and evenings to a good dinner. It suits couples best, and friends who like their weekends built around a glass and a table will enjoy it too. It's not a nightlife trip. With 2 nights, pick one valley, book a few tastings and leave room to linger.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?
When we checked it was $227 per person round trip, $454 for two, all-in, on a nonstop F9 flight from LAX to SFO. The outbound leaves Friday, Oct 23 at 8:22 AM and lands at 9:54 AM. There's also a 7:03 PM departure that lands at 8:38 PM for the same price.
What does the whole weekend cost for two?
Our estimate comes to $1,805 for two: $454 in flights, $591 for the best-value hotel and $760 for spending, which works out to $190 a day. Tastings and a Yountville dinner can push that up quickly.
What is the weather like?
The forecast is clear to mostly clear, with highs from 75°F on Friday to 80°F on Sunday and lows of 48–51°F, so bring a layer for the evenings. The rain chance stays between 3% and 10%.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's enough for a focused long weekend. The return leaves at 8:58 AM on Sunday, so plan around Friday afternoon and all of Saturday. Pick one area, such as Downtown Napa or Calistoga, rather than trying to cover both valleys.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip within California, you pay in US dollars and the clocks match Los Angeles.
