<p>Following registration, we begin working on your travel reservations. We schedule guests to arrive at one of the three airports serving Napa by 1:00 pm PT to accommodate scheduled evening activity.</p>
The three arrival airports that serve Napa, CA are:
<ul class="dashed">
<li>SMF Sacramento International Airport</li>
<li>SFO San Francisco International Airport</li>
<li>OAK Oakland International Airport</li>
</ul>
<p>Signature Kitchen Suite covers hotel nights for the duration of the experience. Incidentals are at your own expense.<br />
<i>Any additional nights requested will be booked based on hotel availability and will be at your own expense. You will be asked to provide credit card information at time of check-in for incidentals and if extending your stay.</i></p>
<p><b>Ground Transportation</b></p>
<p>Transportation from the California arrival airport to the Meritage Resort and Spa is provided by Napa Valley Tours & Transportation (NVT). NVT will be waiting for you upon arrival and will contact you or a member of your party by phone shortly after you land. NVT will also provide your transportation to the California departure airport for your return flight.</p>
<p>You are responsible for transportation to and from your local home airport.</p>
<p>If you have extended your stay so that you arrive before or depart after the dates on your invitation, you are responsible for your transportation to and from the California airport on the days you are not traveling with the regularly scheduled group. You may call NVT at 707-251-9463 to make arrangements. The one way cost is approximately $235 + tax (price is subject to change). Ride booking services such as Uber and Lyft are available along with rental cars at the airport.</p>
<p>Daily activity transportation is provided for all guests throughout the duration of your stay.</p>

<p>Accommodations welcome you with warm Tuscan-inspired décor in colors that evoke the earth, sun, and California sky. Only minutes from the Signature Kitchen Suite Experience and Design Center, and with Napa Valley’s legendary wineries a few miles away, The Meritage and The Grand Reserve offer you the chance to savor the easy-going Napa Valley lifestyle.</p>
<p>The centerpiece of the resort is The Village, featuring a lush lawn, encircled by tasting rooms that spotlight the best Napa Valley boutique wineries.</p>
<p>Check-in is at 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am. If you arrive early, the hotel will hold your luggage until your room is ready.</p>
<p>In your hotel room’s welcome packet we provide a $100 Breakfast Voucher to be used during your stay to enjoy at one of the resort’s eateries before your day begins at the SKS Experience and Design Center.</p>
<p>The resort offers a daily shuttle to downtown Napa. The shuttle drops off and picks up from the corner of Third Street and Main Street. The shuttle departs from the Meritage Resort from 4 pm to 10 pm on the hour, and returns from downtown from 4:25 pm to 10:25 pm, hourly.</p>
<p>If you extend your stay, we have arranged with The Meritage Resort and Spa and The Grand Reserve at The Meritage to extend our rate for your additional days.</p>
