Wine Country Getaway | Visit Novato

Gateway to Wine Country

As the gateway to wine country, Novato is the perfect place to stay when you want to sample some of the best wineries in Northern California. You can enjoy Marin’s beautiful coastline and countryside, explore Sonoma and Napa, and experience the scenic, friendly charm of small-town Novato, all within minutes of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.

If you’re heading to the North Bay for the Sonoma Crush, Napa Harvest or just looking to enjoy a weekend excursion, Novato is the perfect location for a wine country getaway. With award winning hotels and a range of dining options, Novato offers access to all the beauty and excitement at a more affordable price, that doesn't compromise on quality.

When coming from across the Bay, Novato's your local gateway to all that wine country offers. If you're visiting from further afield, we're the perfect base for day trips to San Francisco, in addition to our proximity to wine country destinations like the world-class Ram's Gate Winery. With beautiful redwoods, striking bay views and over 3,600 acres of open space to explore, Novato is simply the best more affordable place to stay in the Bay.
