Getting there
arrivals
Flying into San Diego International (SAN) is about a forty-five minutes south of the venue. McClellan-Palomar (CLD) in Carlsbad is closer if you find a flight.
You don't need to rent a car, Uber and Lyft work well in the area. A rental is handy if you want to explore the coast or wine country between events.
while you're here
The villa sits in the hills above the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (twenty minutes), with the beaches of Carlsbad and Encinitas a half-hour west.
Temecula is just twenty minutes north, and has great wine country to explore.
Where to stay
Closest to venue
A 450-acre resort just minutes down the road, with pools, golf, and a spa.
Escondido · 20 min
About twenty minutes from the villa, with a small downtown of shops, breweries, and restaurants. A good mix of chain hotels and short-term rentals.
Airbnb · near villa
Rentals in Fallbrook, Pala Mesa, and Bonsall put you a short drive from Villa Zosaneli and are great if you're sharing a place with a group.
What to expect
Late August in the hills above Escondido runs hot and dry through the early afternoon, topping out in the low nineties, then drops fast once the sun is off the hills. The evening lands in the good part — easing out of the mid–eighties and into the seventies by the end of the night.
Friday · August 21

71° – 92°
Sunny all day

Clear from sunrise on, with a light west breeze. Falling steadily all through the party.
Saturday · August 22
Wedding
69° – 92°
Sunny and clear
90° at the ceremony
Full sun and no cloud to soften it. Golden hour at 6:55, sunset at 7:28.
Sunday · August 23
Pool Party
70° – 93°
Sunny and hot
89° when the pool opens
The hottest day of the weekend, and cloudless. The water will be the place to be.
a word to the wise
It is a dry heat, and the shade is genuinely comfortable — but it will be right around 90° when the ceremony begins, so please drink water through the afternoon and consider a hat for the hours beforehand. Once the sun drops behind the hills it cools quickly, so bring a light layer for the evening. Grass and garden paths make block heels friendlier than stilettos.
