More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The tires hush as the Bay recedes and rolling vineyards lean in to the highway; a chauffeur guides a roomy sedan or SUV out of the airport's bustle and toward Sonoma’s low, sun-warmed valley. Window frames a changing map — salt flats give way to saltbush, then to orderly rows of vines and oak-stippled hills — while the driver keeps an eye on flight delays and traffic so you don't have to.

Conservation
Vineyard water use and wildfire risk influence land management; choose operators and wineries that practice sustainable viticulture and respect local fire-season advisories.
Reserve your spot on the Private transfer from SFO to Sonoma today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Confirm passenger count and luggage
Tell the operator the exact number of travelers and medium suitcases so you get the correctly sized vehicle; SUVs and sedans have different capacities.
Plan for traffic windows
Allow extra time for morning and evening Bay Area rush hours — travel times can swing from 60 to 90+ minutes during peaks.
Use the meet-and-greet if arriving late
If you prefer inside assistance, select Meet-and-Greet for an in-terminal pickup (may have an extra fee) to speed up transitions.
Pack a small layered jacket
Coastal fog can make mornings cool even in summer; a light layer keeps you comfortable during the short drive and first vineyard stops.
Photo ID / Passport
Required for airport pickup verification and any rental or booking checks.
Charged smartphone
Needed for driver contact, e-tickets, and last-minute itinerary updates.
Soft-sided luggage
Easier to fit in trunks and maximize space in sedans or SUVs.
Light layer (jacket)
