Napa and Sonoma — they're the perfect wine-country getaway destinations any time of year. But occasionally the traffic makes the drive frustrating and long on the nicest days. Why not go by helicopter? Along the way, you'll see gorgeous views of Northern California — the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin, and the North Bay — the perfect preamble to the jewels of Northern California: the valleys of Napa and Sonoma. With so much to do, choose from a day trip, weekend trip or just lunch or dinner. We'll help you arrange all the details.
Favorite destinations: Napa, Sonoma, Central Coast
Half-day trip: Lunch (casual or epicure), then a private
winery tour and tasting, a tour of
the Hess art gallery, and then home at dusk.
Day trip: A stroll in St. Helena, lunch at the legendary
Chateau
Montelena, followed by a private tour of their fabulous
grounds. Then perhaps
a mud
bath and massage in Calistoga, or a sommelier lecture at
Meadowood. A stop at one or two exclusive wineries
for private tastings, and home just as the city lights come on.
