Public transit, ferry and local buses
Downtown Napa is served by VINE Transit, Napa County’s fixed‑route bus system. VINE buses connect Napa with nearby towns and to the Vallejo Ferry Terminal, useful if you plan to use the San Francisco Bay Ferry service.
The San Francisco Bay Ferry runs from the SF Ferry Building to Vallejo; from Vallejo, VINE Transit provides connections into downtown Napa. Check current schedules and fares before you travel.

Taxis, rideshares and private car services
Because the hotel lacks a shuttle, taxis and rideshares (Uber/Lyft) are the most direct door‑to‑door option from airports and regional hubs. Book rides in advance for busy arrival times or events.
For winery tours and day trips, many guests arrange private car services or chauffeured wine‑tour companies through the hotel's concierge rather than relying on point-to-point rideshares.
- Use rideshare apps or local taxi companies for straightforward trips into downtown Napa
- Book private car or chauffeured wine‑tour services through concierge for multi-stop winery days
- Allow extra time for rides during peak times (weekend evenings, special events)
| Trip type | Recommended transport |
|---|---|
| Single trip to hotel from airport | Taxi or rideshare |
| All-day winery touring | Private car service or booked tour via concierge |
| Short local hops (to Oxbow, Uptown Theater) | Walk (hotel is on First Street) or short rideshare |
