If you are coming from out of town and need a place to stay, here are several places to consider:

Hotel Los Gatos

210 E Main St, Los Gatos, CA 95030

(408) 335-1700

Toll House Hotel

140 S Santa Cruz Ave, Los Gatos, CA 95030

(800) 238-6111

Los Gatos Garden Inn

46 E Main St, Los Gatos, CA 95030

(408) 354-6446

Downtown Los Gatos is filled with great restaurants and shopping, so staying there will be a treat!

The closest airport to downtown Los Gatos (where the hotels are) is San Jose Mineta International Airport (approximately 12 miles/20 minutes). If you prefer to fly into San Francisco International Airport, time to downtown Los Gatos is approximately 50 minutes/47 miles.

The road to Radonich Ranch is beautiful and a bit windy as the ranch is located in the Santa Cruz Mountains (17 South to Summit Road from downtown Los Gatos). Options to travel to the wedding and back to downtown Los Gatos are as follows:

• For those who would like to drive to the ranch from wherever they are staying, feel free to do so as there is plenty of parking.

• If you would prefer to take the shuttle (a very cool, old school bus), there will be one leaving the Toll House Hotel promptly at 3:15 pm. Please plan to arrive in the lobby of the Toll House Hotel at 3:00pm. Return shuttle rides from the ranch to the Toll House Hotel will depart at 8pm and 9:15pm. All wedding guests must leave the ranch no later than 9:30pm. Plan on a 20-25 minute ride to and from the ranch.

• If you take Uber or Lyft to the ranch, know that there is no cell phone service at the ranch to reach Uber or Lyft for your return ride to home or your hotel. You will want to take the shuttle back to the Toll House Hotel and then call Uber or Lyft from there to get to your destination. If you reserve your return ride with Uber or Lyft, be aware that it’s dark in the mountains at night, and drivers may not want to make that trip.

Early October is normally a month of beautiful weather in northern California, although last October was unseasonably hot in the San Jose/Los Gatos area. Daytime temperatures are normally mid-70s to low 80s. Nighttime temperatures can drop into the 60s and 50s. Bring layers.

If you’re looking for a suggestion on what to wear to the wedding, we suggest ‘ranch chic’ – dressy but not formal, comfortable but tasteful. High, spiky heels may be difficult to walk in since we will be outside in grassy areas.

We are looking forward to seeing you on October 4! If you are travelling from out of town, please make your hotel reservations soon as the hotels fill up for that time of year.
