napa/sonoma or san francisco?

Going in october for a wedding and it happens to be our anniversary so we're extending the trip to a week.

I booked the Warwick in san francisco for 2 nights. Warwick wasn't my 1st choice or 5th choice, but there is a convention there the same time and EVERYTHING was booked or outrageously expensive.

Now i'm wondering if maybe we should just go to napa/sonoma instead.

People rave about san francisco though.

ideas? thoughts?

my husband isn't really a city person and of course we'd do some sight seeing but mostly we want to relax, sleep, eat and did i mention sleep (2 small kids at home)?!?!?? Chat Icon

I would stay in Napa and do a day or two in San Fran...its only an hour by car.

They are both so close. Sonoma seems to be a little more laid back than Napa. We stayed here:

We went in May to visit friends who live just outside of Napa. We flew into SanFran (got there pretty late at night - around 10pm) and stayed overnight in the city. I had been there before but DH hadn't. We did an all day tour of the city (not usually a big fan of tours but our time was limited) and hit all the highlights including Alcatraz and then spent the rest of the trip in the Napa area - it is so beautiful there. The city is nice, but I LOVE the Napa/Sonoma area (definitely try to get to the Sterling winery)

Re: napa/sonoma or san francisco?

We are leaving tomorrow for Cali for our HM and we will be splitting our time three ways between San Fran, Napa and Sonoma. I used Bookit.com and we found some reasonable (for the area) hotels.

I will report back when we return!

Re: napa/sonoma or san francisco?

We just went to Sonoma/Napa last March - We stayed in Sonoma at the Lodge (it's a Renissance Mariott property) LOVED it !!
Very laid back - they have a shuttle to/from the town of Sonoma that has great restaurants and tasting rooms -

We have been to San Fran before - I think (especially if your husband isn't a city person) you can do a day trip
