Getting There
Mendocino is located about 150 miles north of San Francisco, about a 3 hour drive (and one of the most beautiful drives you will ever take!). We strongly suggest staying both Friday and Saturday nights in Mendocino, as it is definitely a trip you want to enjoy and make the most out of. Also, we have plans for our wedding guests on Friday evening that you don't want to miss!! Another thing to consider is that most lodging in Mendocino has a 2-night minimum, so the way we see it, you might as well make a weekend out of it :)
From San Francisco........
Leave SF via the Golden Gate Bridge heading north on the 101 for 85 miles until you reach Cloverdale. From there, take CA-128 West Towards Mendocino and Boonville, for about 55 miles.
Highway 128 West is a very windy and scenic drive, through Anderson Valley, the town of Boonville and the Anderson Valley Brewing Company. There are also opportunities to stop at some wineries along the way. Just before you hit Highway 1, you will drive through the Navarro River Redwoods State park.
Once you hit Highway 1 and the Pacific Coast, head north about 10 miles until you reach the town of Mendocino. Turn left onto Main Street.
Arriving in San Francisco........
For those of you traveling from afar, there are a few airports servicing the Bay area. SFO and OAK are the major airports to fly into, and the drive to Mendocino from each of them will be about 3-3.5 hours. Santa Rosa (STS) is a regional airport in Sonoma county (with nonstop flights from LA, Portland, Seattle and San Diego), and the drive from there is about 100 miles and 2 hours.
You have the option of renting a car when you arrive to drive up to the wedding, or if you do NOT want to rent a car, you can connect with someone who is driving up from SF to hitch a ride with them. If you are flying into SF and don't want to rent a car (or are someone in SF who doesn't have a car), please email Mary Song at mms1221@gmail.com , and she can connect you with someone who has room in their car.
