St. Helena via Sacramento
Sacramento is a little farther than Oakland from St. Helena, but the drive has no bridges and is usually predictable — useful for early flights.
We leave the valley at Napa and take CA-12 through Jameson Canyon to I-80, then head east past Vacaville and Davis.
Visitors flying in from the east often find a convenient SMF connection for a Napa Valley stay.
