I will be in San Francisco in June and want to spend a weekend in Napa. Any suggestions on where to stay? Favorite wineries? Best transportation?
TIA

Swanson Vineyards is a well hidden gem and worth checking out. Doesn't hurt that the Swansons are originally from New Orleans.

Get a limo. Enjoy the wine tours sans dui.

We will be there in late June also! We have been driving a little further north in the valley and staying in Calistoga. Small downtown but restaurants are great and all within walking distance. We stay at Luxe Calistoga B&B. The 4 course breakfast is awesome! As far as wineries, it depends on what wines y'all like to drink and your price point. A cheaper option for drivers instead of a limo is the services that use your rental car. They're usually half the price of a limo!

My favorite is the Francis Ford Cuppola Winery. Gorgeous grounds, museum with Cuppola memorabilia and insanely good restaurant

He may be referring to Copollas' Inglenook which had that museum kinda stuff. His other winery may as well.
We spent 4 days in Napa, I have previously posted recs if you wanna search. Inglenook was kinda overrated and very expensive. My favorites were the smaller places, where you could really get to know the employees/ owners. Also, Silver Oak and Cakebread were awesome.
Napa had a co-op tasting room, where small wineries without the capacity to bottle could bring their wine to package. They had like 40 or so rotating bottles, it was a really cool place to do a tasting.
This was it : LINK

Just went in November stayed at best western ivy premier. It was alright but we weren't there much our days were full. I'd have to say Mondavi was my favorite

Kuleto winery is awesome. Take the tour and pack a picnic lunch. It's in the mountains overlooking Napa. You can chill for 1/2 the day and since tours are by appointment only there are very few people there. Great views and so peaceful.
