It’s just about 20 minutes from the Churchill Manor, a Napa bed and breakfast, and a very convenient Napa Valley airport if you are chartering a flight or piloting your own aircraft. (Pilots, this airport offers aircraft storage facilities.) While there aren’t any car rental agencies available at the airport, you can arrange for private transportation and have it waiting for you upon arrival. Wednesdays are a great day to fly in and out of this airport as they feature “Wine Down Wednesday,” and travelers can enjoy a glass of wine or champagne at half price.
