Planning a company event in Napa Valley
The Napa Valley suits small, high-end offsites: leadership teams, board meetings and client incentives within reach of San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Resorts and estates offer meeting rooms among the vines, with tastings and dinners that are part of the programme.
When to go
Spring and early summer are pleasant and less crowded than harvest, when wineries and hotels are at their busiest. Winter is quiet, with rain at times, and often easier for availability and private tastings. Midweek dates are easier to secure than weekends all year.
Getting the team there
San Francisco International and Oakland International are the usual airports, with Sacramento International to the east and the small Sonoma County airport nearby. From the Bay Area, a coach is the simplest way to bring a group up the valley; there is also a ferry from San Francisco to Vallejo.
Resorts and estates
Hotels and resorts in the valley are mostly small to mid-sized, with a few that can host a whole team with meeting rooms on site. Larger groups often split between two properties or take over one entirely. Some estates offer private rooms and caves for working sessions and dinners.
Activities
Private tastings and blending sessions with winemakers, dawn hot-air balloon flights over the vineyards, the Napa Valley Wine Train, cycling between wineries, cooking classes and spa time in Calistoga. Many wineries receive visitors by appointment only, so book tastings in advance.
