Tour Vin Plans Corporate Events

Published on: November 21st, 2016

What better way to start the year than with an annual corporate kickoff event in Napa Valley? These outings are a great way to bring together management and key employees to share long term corporate strategy, as well as the annual business plans of the various business units and, most of all, to promote team work within the organization.

To ensure this outing is meaningful to all involved, it takes a lot of planning well in advance of the event. Now is the time to start thinking about 2017!

First, we need to consider a hotel that can accommodate the group and that offers all the amenities required to pull it off. The number of rooms to be booked is in direct correlation to the number of employees attending. Conference rooms are a requirement, and maybe a pool, spa services, a workout facility and a bar are important, too. Needless to say, reservations far in advance is critical.

Wineries – There are more than 500 wineries in Napa Valley and we know which ones will make the group’s wine tasting experience a memorable one. If, say, 20 folks would like to enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting, there is a good chance we would need to book a private event. What better way to encourage company bonding than over a glass, or bottle, of wine?

Restaurants – There are many options to consider when planning a group’s dining experiences, not the least of which are general culinary tastes. Perhaps a private room that can accommodate everyone away from the general crowd should be considered? Or, we may decide that a special menu would be a great way to accent the experience!

Activities – Fun activities abound in Napa Valley, including golf, hot air balloon rides, hiking and shopping. Everyone has a different idea of how to relax away from business sessions, and we can help planning these excursions as well!

Transportation – So, how do we transport a large group around the Valley? We have it covered! There are many excellent car services available to accommodate corporate groups. You’ll be surprised at the luxury cars used to make transportation around the Valley fun and relaxing.

We have planned corporate events before and know what is required to make these events successful and unforgettable. Contact us to help plan your company’s next retreat!

Cheers!

Tour Vin Plans Corporate Retreats

Published on: June 26th, 2015

Having previously worked as an employee in small and large organizations, I understand the need to offer off-site corporate programs for executives and key personnel. Whether it’s a team building exercise (Bocce Ball tournament or a round of golf?), a sales recognition award honoring top sales personnel (all expense paid vacation for two?), or an offsite centered upon a corporate strategy discussion, Napa Valley has it all.

Napa Valley offers outstanding venues that combine business and pleasure, allowing guests to interact in a relaxed, professional setting. Reasonable rates for group events at local Napa hotels and spaces designed for the perfect meetings are plentiful throughout the area. That said, booking far in advance is definitely a must to ensure a reservation at your favorite venue.

Are you looking for a nice meeting room with amenities appropriate for senior personnel? Napa offers excellent options. Consider starting the day with an early morning balloon ride followed by the business meeting and ending with a private dinner with a Napa Valley wine maker. Don’t forget to squeeze in a wine tasting/food pairing in a wine cave! Would your professional staff enjoy making their own personal wine blend and then shipping the bottles back to their homes to sip later? Napa is abundant with options for your corporate retreat.

Having worked in the Financial Services industry in my prior life, I understand the need to offer off-site corporate programs for executives and key personnel. In fact, I planned our public company’s first off-site event which included golf, wine tasting, entertainment and, of course, business related events. It was the first time key leaders within the organization shared their business strategy, goals and objectives with other senior management personnel. Napa Valley offers outstanding venues to combine business and pleasure, and allows participants to interact in a relaxed, professional setting.

Need a nice meeting room with amenities appropriate for senior personnel? Napa offers many excellent options. Want to treat your key employees to a wine tasting/food pairing in a wine cave? Napa has many places from which you may choose. Looking for restaurants that offer great cuisine and excellent wines? Napa is abundant with options.
