Villa Aurelia, Sonoma.
A stone villa above the vineyards, with an olive grove, a walled garden, and a barn that was made for dancing. Here is how to find it, and where to rest your head.
Roughly 70 minutes north of San Francisco. Follow signs for Sonoma, then Aurelia Lane — the drive is lined with cypress. Sat-nav: 1200 Aurelia Lane, Sonoma, CA.
Fly into San Francisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK). Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County (STS) is closest, about 35 minutes away.
Free parking on the estate, with attendants to guide you. Do leave the car overnight if you’d rather dance — taxis are easy to call from the house.
A shuttle will loop between the recommended hotels and the villa from 2:30, and back again after midnight. No need to book — just hop on.
A few good beds nearby.
We’ve held rooms at a handful of places within a short drive. Mention our names for the wedding rate where noted.
