Social Media

Post with these Hashtags:

#VisitNapaValley
#CrushThatMeeting

Things to remember:

• Posts are best with a photo, and they don't always have to be our advertising images. In fact, LinkedIn is pretty casual in their (unofficial) photo standards, there are a lot of group pics showing teams just having fun.
• Most conferences, summits, etc. have their own hashtags (IMEX, for example). Use them in posts during the event to connect with colleagues at the event and boost visibility.
• Post booth location with a photo encouraging those at the event to stop by (use the hashtag). Tag partners (or partner DMOs) if you brought them along.
  • DMO partners:
    • SF Travel: @SanFranciscoTravel | #MeetInSF
    • Visit CA: @VisitCalifornia | #VisitCalifornia

• You could feature a weekly/monthly 'spotlight venue.' Include a photo with a link and a quick sentence on why someone should host a meeting there.
• Share articles relevant to your audience — tips for organizing a great meeting, etc. Here is a shortcut to our Meeting Blog section. If you have topics you'd like covered, let the marketing team know!

Long Format:

While the heart of the Napa Valley may be found in a glass, its soul is revealed through the spirit of collaboration and innovation. A spirit that is defined by equal parts authenticity and creativity. From our winemaking's humble beginnings, to legendary winemaker Robert Mondavi’s redefining of what modern-day wineries could be, to our local growers’ unwavering belief in sharing agricultural innovations, the spirit of authentic collaboration is weaved throughout the valley's storied history. Here, it can be experienced in every corner.

Beyond our unique outdoor venues and ample wellness opportunities; beyond our world-class wineries, 10 Michelin stars, 5,000 guest rooms, and 250+ days of sunshine, is where you'll discover a collaborative spirit that gives meetings in the Napa Valley a flavor all their own. As guests, we hope it inspires you to create breakout sessions that don't simply focus on growing profit margins, but also growing as a team — in the same way Robert Mondavi financially backed competing wineries to transform the Napa Valley into a legendary wine region. We hope this spirit encourages a culture of cooperation within your organization, just as our local grape growers rely on one another's expertise year after year to ensure a successful harvest for the entire region. And we hope it fosters a culture of creativity and innovation, similar to the numerous winemaking breakthroughs such as cold fermentation that were not only pioneered in the Napa Valley, but also shared amongst all our wineries, for the benefit of all those who call the Napa Valley home.

But it doesn't end there. In continuing with this spirit of collaboration, and as a completely complimentary service, Visit Napa Valley staff is available to provide guidance on everything you need to make your stay here a success.
