Great rate for Napa Valley/Sonoma. Our favorite hotel in the area, the Flamingo Resort...a perfectly preserved 1950's "Vegas" style retro resort...has a $99 weekday rate that includes tickets to the Sonoma County Fair. Use the promo code "GRAPE" when making reservations: http://tinyurl.com/274qvn5 .
