Getting there
Traveling by Plane
We recommend flying into San Francisco International Airport (SFO), which is about a 1½ hour drive to Straus Home Ranch. If you have time, the trip up Route 1 is worthwhile for sweeping views of the dramatic rocky coastline. Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport (STS), located in Santa Rosa, is also an option. It’s about 30 minutes from Petaluma and 50 minutes from our venue.
If you’d prefer not to rent a car, there are shuttles available (Airport Express) from SFO or STS directly to Petaluma.
Traveling by Car
There is no cellphone service in the area and GPS often gives “scenic” (aka longer) routes. Please print out directions here if you’re planning to drive. Don't worry, there’s Wi-Fi at the venue!
Shuttle Service
Ride share apps will not be an option for getting around. We have arranged complimentary round trip shuttle service for the weekend from Hotel Petaluma and Hampton Inn Petaluma to the Welcome Dinner on Friday and the Wedding Ceremony and Reception on Saturday.
Please find the Shuttle Schedule, here.
Carpooling is encouraged as parking at the venue is very limited. Given its coastal location, the roads on Highway 1 and surrounding area are notoriously windy, so if you plan on drinking, do not plan on driving.
