Why go now
The fare is $278 per person round trip, nonstop on Frontier. That's $60 below the typical fare on this route, 18% under the $338 median of our earlier checks. It also has the Lowest in 30 days badge: across 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $278 to $367. For two, flights come to $556. Add the best-value hotel at $591 for both nights with breakfast and a $760 spending budget, and the weekend totals $1,907. Late October is still harvest crush season in wine country, so expect the heaviest crowds of the year. The weather works in your favor, with highs of 77°F to 85°F, lows of 48°F to 51°F and rain chances of 6% or less. The flight takes 2h 16m, so you get two full days of tastings, long dinners and a spa afternoon.
The kind of trip this is
This is a wine-and-food long weekend: cabernet tastings, slow lunches, a mud bath in Calistoga and vineyard views from a bike or a balloon. It suits couples first. It also works for friends who like to plan the weekend around dinner reservations. The pace is unhurried. Two nights means picking one part of the valley each day and staying at the table a while longer, not racing between wineries.
