Steve Wynn flies to Sonoma County wine country ahead of summer art season

Steve Wynn flew from Oakland to Petaluma on the evening of June 6, a 2-hour-42-minute hop aboard his Gulfstream G700 (N88WR) that landed just after midnight local time. The short, low-altitude leg — maxing out at 10,200 feet — suggests a leisurely arrival into Sonoma County wine country, where Wynn maintains a recurring presence per his flight history [celebplanes.com].

The trip lands the same week the region’s summer art and auction season begins, with major gallery openings and private collection previews scheduled across Napa and Sonoma. Wynn, a noted art collector with a net worth of roughly $3 billion, has flown into Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (KSTS) multiple times in recent months, per his flight log [celebplanes.com]. The area’s blend of high-end real estate, viticulture, and discreet luxury aligns with his post-Nevada lifestyle since relocating to Palm Beach in 2019.

The flight follows a pattern of bi-coastal movement between Florida, California, and Nevada. Wynn’s home base remains Palm Beach International (KPBI), but Sonoma County has become a regular destination — likely for personal art acquisitions, property interests, or quiet retreats away from the Las Vegas gaming world he exited in 2018 [celebplanes.com].
