We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Napa Valley
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Surrounded by Napa and Yountville vineyards, this Napa Valley retreat agenda focuses on structured team sessions paired with a guided winery experience and relaxed countryside evenings.
Napa Valley is ideal for teams that want a premium countryside experience focused on wine, food, and scenic landscapes. The region offers a calm, high-quality environment that encourages both focus and social connection.
Most teams fly into San Francisco International Airport (SFO) or Oakland International Airport (OAK), both about 1 to 1.5 hours away by car. Private transfers are commonly arranged for group travel.
Spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) are especially popular, with temperatures around 64–82°F. Fall harvest season is a highlight, while summer is warm and lively, and winter is quieter.
Popular bases include Napa town for convenience, Yountville for a more upscale and walkable experience, and St. Helena for a quieter, vineyard-focused setting.
Wine tastings are central, along with vineyard tours, cooking classes, hot air balloon rides, cycling, and spa experiences. Most activities are within a short drive of each other.
The region works well for this balance, especially in private estates or hotels. Teams can run sessions on-site and then transition into tastings or outdoor activities.
A 3 to 4 day retreat is common. This allows time for structured sessions, a few key experiences, and relaxed group dinners.
Napa Valley offers a more refined and slower-paced experience compared to coastal or urban locations. The focus on wine, food, and scenery creates a distinct atmosphere.
Yes, transportation is essential. Locations are spread out, and teams typically arrange private drivers or vans, especially when planning wine tastings.
Napa is known for its high-quality food scene. Teams often enjoy winery lunches, farm-to-table dinners, tasting menus, and private chef experiences.
The entire offsite was very great, very good. Very well organized. I liked the planning process - I didn't have to do it, I just had to approve it. I trusted you completely, with everything... I saw this attention to detail and we really appreciate it.
You were amazing and saved me 90% of the time I would have used... definitely working with Surf Office again, 10/10.
From the very first contact to the last goodbye, Surf Office was an incredible company to work with for our company retreat in Portugal. The customer service was top tier and every single person I interacted with was absolutely lovely, professional and so helpful.
You were unswayable in terms of your positivity, in terms of your proactiveness and cooperation, and just your get it done mentality. So that was really good. Thank you.
Honestly, everything went so smoothly. From Anthony sending us proposals and working hard at finding the right venue, to Romane planning every detail and being so flexible with our requests, to Fernanda being an absolute superstar onsite and being so helpful. Thank you all so much!
I panicked when I learned I had to plan this, I've never done this before. Everything went smoothly for me, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.
I mean, you guys are magicians. I don't know how you do it... Honestly, it's been great, Jolanda, the support that you've given during the planning stage with all of the prep work that goes into it beforehand. You guys are really, honestly, the best. Thank you so much, you make my life so much easier.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
