Help, first time to San Francisco

So my husband and I are trying to plan a trip out West - problem is we are constricted by time. We only have 3 nights and a lot of wants on our list. We will be flying in from New York to San Francisco Friday - Monday. We were thinking of staying in San Francisco Friday night then going to the wine Country Saturday - Monday. Trouble is during harvest I%26#39;m having difficulty finding availability on that Saturday night. Also what are thoughts on Bernardus in Carmel area is it too much to do San Francisco Friday Night, Bernardus Lodge Saturday Night then try to drive up to Napa for Sunday night and fly out of San Francisco on Monday? Also thought of doing one of the day winery trips from San Francisco? And just staying in San Fran. Thanks for your time and recommendations - trying to make the most of our time but still want the trip to be a relaxing getaway.

Yes, that%26#39;s way too much to do on a weekend.

My advice would be this. Stay the entire time in San Francisco. Or, if you HAVE to do something else as well, find a good company for a day trip to the wine country. If you do a search here you will see recommendations. You probably want a smaller company, like in a minivan to have a better experience.

If you try to drive between three places in one weekend you have not seen anything of San Francisco. It is worth three days all by itself.

It won%26#39;t be a relaxing getaway if you do it as you had planned.

Excellent advice well-stated.

Your plans are over-ambitious. You should seriously consider spending more time doing less than so little time doing so much.
