Beyond the countless unique venues, world-class wineries, 10 Michelin Stars, and 200-plus days of sunshine, visitors will discover that it is the spirit of collaboration that gives meetings in the Napa Valley a flavor all their own.
Customized group breakout sessions focus on growing as a team, while encouraging a culture of cooperation and innovation -- much in the same way Napa Valley wineries rely on each other’s expertise to ensure a successful harvest for the entire region.
From the city of American Canyon in the south, to the northernmost city of Calistoga, the Napa Valley boasts more than 130 lodging properties and 5000 guest rooms, ranging from five-star luxury resorts to intimate bed and breakfasts. The Valley also offers more than 500,000 square feet of available meeting space from ballrooms to barrel rooms and wine caves to vineyards. For events booked January through April 2019, Visit Napa Valley offers complimentary round-trip transportation to an off-site event (*terms and conditions apply).
Listed below is a highlight of where to crush your next meeting in the Napa Valley.
