Conference Location

Silverado Resort and Spa
1600 Atlas Peak Road, Napa, CA 94558

Silverado Resort and Spa is your gateway to the enchanting allures of Napa Valley. Tucked into the rolling hills of California's world-famous Wine Country, the resort combines state-of-the-art business facilities, a golf course and endless recreational possibilities.
A block of guestrooms has been reserved at a special UCSF conference rate of $444/night (inclusive of resort fee).

Airport/Driving

As fall is a popular time in Napa Valley, we strongly recommend booking your accommodations early to secure your stay.

Flying Into the Bay Area!
For our attendees traveling by air, there are three primary airports in the vicinity of Napa to consider-

San Francisco International Airport (SFO): 
Expect a drive of approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach Silverado, depending on traffic conditions. 
It is worth noting that travel times can fluctuate, particularly during peak travel hours. 
SFO, while offering the most flight choices, is also the furthest of the three major airports from Silverado.  

Sacramento International Airport (SMF): 
SMF typically takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. 
SMF offers a slightly shorter or less traffic-heavy drive compared to SFO.  

Oakland International Airport (OAK): 
The drive from OAK is generally around 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes. 
OAK is geographically the closest of the three airports to Silverado, potentially making it the quickest option in terms of driving distance, although actual travel time can still be influenced by traffic.
