Getting In
We recommend flying into San Francisco International Airport or Oakland International Airport!
Napa Valley is a world-famous wine region, consisting of several must-see towns. The town of Calistoga -- where we recommend staying -- is a 2 hour drive from SFO and OAK (without traffic). Both airports have several rental car options for those flying in.
Accommodations
September marks the start of the Harvest season in wine country, a very popular time to visit Napa Valley. We recommend making arrangements as soon as possible.
We recommend staying in the town of Calistoga, which is a short drive from our wedding venue, Beaulieu Garden. There are several hotels on Lincoln Street (Calistoga's main strip), all easily walkable from each other. We plan to have wedding transportation to and from downtown Calistoga.
Best Western Plus Stevenson Manor
Calistoga's Best Western is a great, no-frills option, with a convenient location in Calistoga with a pool and free breakfast!
We have secured a room block at the Best Western, with a 3-night minimum requirement. To book within this block, please use the following link: bestwestern.com/en_US/book/hotel-rooms.05571.html
Alternatively you can call the hotel and reference the "McNeive and Andrus 2022 Wedding."
Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa
Calistoga Motor Lodge is a fun roadside hotel inspired by airstream camper vans, with retro prints, bold colors, and minimalist design. The hotel brings a distinct California cool vibe, thanks to a hip pool and games like bocce ball, Hula-Hoop, and corn hole. Calistoga Motor Lodge has a 3-night minimum over the holiday weekend.
Indian Springs Calistoga
This is where the bride and groom will be staying! The resort has a lot to offer, including one of the largest outdoor pools in California, lazy lawn hammocks, bocce, shuffleboard, and badminton. Indian Springs has a 3-night minimum over the holiday weekend.
Roman Spa Hot Springs Resort
Roman Spa is conveniently located right in town with both mud baths and geothermal mineral water pool. Roman Spa also has a 3-night minimum over the holiday weekend.
