The shuttle won’t work for my schedule. What should I do?
Check out our getting here page for alternative ways to travel.
How long is the drive from the airport to the gathering?
About 1 hr 15 min (without stops). The shuttle makes a 20 minute courtesy stop at Goosberries grocery on the way to the Gathering. This is to allow you time to grab snacks and some food before getting here. Use the restroom before leaving the airport.
Can I change my shuttle time?
Unfortunately, no. Shuttle times are fixed, non-refundable, and non-transferable due to high demand. SWG isn’t responsible for missed flights. On the rare occasion SWG cannot meet minimum seats requirements to run the shuttle, we may refund your pass and ask you to find other arrangements with ample notice.
Can I take the shuttle without a flight?
Of course! We meet at Medford Airport at the assigned time at the departures area. Be sure to indicate this when you buy your pass.
What if I miss a shuttle with no available seats on another?
SWG isn’t responsible, but you can explore alternative options on SWG Mighty network page.
Where do we meet?
Airport Meeting Point: Curbside arrivals area, right outside of baggage claim. Your driver will be pulling up to the blue “arrivals” sign at the scheduled pick up time. The van is marked “Bravo” or “Wine Hopper”. Our airport is small, you will easily find other attendees.
Gathering Meeting Point: By tent check-in and yurt village, North side of the road.
What time are the opening and closing ceremonies?
Opening ceremony starts at 3pm on Thursday. Closing starts around 8am with breakfast and rituals. Shuttles leave during the group photo after closing ceremony, around 10am.
