Once you visit Napa Valley once, you’ll want to come back again and again. Fortunately, the wine country offers great facilities and experiences to suit many types of events including conferences and corporate programs. Here are five events that are a “must book” in Napa for your executives, your VIP customers, or your award winning team members.
1. Customer Meetings and Advisory Boards
Spend quality time with your best customers in Napa Valley. Whether you are hosting a roundtable meeting or just want to say “thank you”, your attendees will enjoy their visit to the wine country – from world-class dining to the beautiful countryside. You can also create memorable experiences such as cooking lessons with a five-star chef, learning about wine from one of the Valley’s most popular sommeliers or taking a hot air balloon ride over hundreds of acres of vineyards.
2. Business Meetings
Why choose a local convention center when you can enjoy a gorgeous location for your business? Napa Valley is home to numerous meeting locations that are just a short distance away from all that wine country has to offer. Attendees can experience wine tasting and tours, shopping and gourmet dining as a group or on their own in the days surrounding the meeting. You can transform your meeting from “the ordinary” to something special.
3. Team Building Retreats
Destination team building retreats are a great way to get away from it all and let your employees connect. There’s no better place to do that than in Napa. The wine country is located close to major transportation hubs, but feels like its a million miles away. There are plenty of meeting spaces where your team can work, but there are also multiple opportunities for the group to bond and have some fun. From wine blending competitions to culinary cook-offs, you’ll find team building activities that everyone will enjoy.
4. Recognition and Reward Events
Tired of the same old all-inclusive beach award trips? If you want to celebrate the successes of top performers, it doesn’t get any better than taking honorees to wine country. Napa Valley has the elegance and sophistication that make for a perfect environment for special events. The wine country is home to some of the best five-star restaurants in the nation, not to mention the amazing golf, luxury spas, and of course, ultimate wine tasting experiences. All of this makes for a unique and memorable event that will honor the best of the best.
5. Leadership Programs and Board Meetings
The wine country is the perfect location for VIP events. It’s a natural environment with all of the amenities of a big city including a private airport, world class hotels and meeting facilities. Have a multi-course dinner paired with complimentary wines – prepared just for your group by award-winning chefs at one of Napa’s finest wineries. You have easy access to any number of activities that match the sophistication of your attendees.
As you can see, Napa has something for everyone – and every type of event. From small team meetings to award ceremonies with your top performers, selecting the wine country for your next corporate event is something different and special that your attendees will appreciate and remember.
Here’s to great wine and unique events!
