San Francisco International

SFO Private Chauffeur Service to Napa Valley & Sonoma

Step off a long flight and into a Lincoln Navigator. No rental counter, no shuttle, and no Bay Area traffic to navigate after a red-eye.

San Francisco International is where most wine country trips begin, and the drive north is where many of them go wrong: rush-hour bridges, a jet-lagged driver in an unfamiliar rental, and a first tasting missed. Bien Chauffeured takes that off your hands. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you at the curb outside baggage claim, handles the bags, and drives you straight to Napa Valley, Sonoma or Healdsburg.

Your chauffeur texts you before your flight departs and again as you land to confirm the pickup location. We are based in Calistoga and drive these roads every day, choosing the Golden Gate Bridge or the Bay Bridge on the day depending on live traffic.

Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa is about 20 minutes from Healdsburg and 30 from Calistoga. We pick up at both.

Private Aviation at SFO

Flying privately into SFO? We meet aircraft at Signature Aviation, the private jet terminal at SFO. Give us the tail number when you book, and your chauffeur will be waiting at the FBO when you land. Headed to Napa Valley? Ask us about landing at Napa County Airport (APC) instead, about 15 minutes from downtown Napa.

Vehicles for SFO Transfers

Beyond the Airport

The drive from SFO is long enough to make a stop worth it. Many guests break the trip with lunch in Sonoma or a first tasting on the way into Napa Valley, with bags secured in the vehicle. Staying longer? Keep your chauffeur for a private wine tour, or book hourly, as-directed service for dinners and appointments. See our Napa Valley and Sonoma pages for more of what we do locally.
