SJC to Mendocino — The Silicon Valley North Coast Weekend Corridor

Flying into SJC for a combined Cisco / Adobe / Nvidia / Apple Park business trip with a weekend Anderson Valley wine getaway, a Stanford Inn by the Sea retreat, a Sea Ranch Lodge mid-century-modern weekend, or a Mendocino destination wedding? SJC is the Silicon Valley executive arrival airport for combined business + North Coast trips. The drive is about 30-60 minutes longer than from SFO or OAK because SJC is further south — you must drive north through the entire Bay Area before turning west toward the coast. We've been arranging premium North Coast ground transport since 1986.
