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.
In full transparency, everyone loved it. People are still talking about it. The main goal was team bonding and you helped me to reach it.
Everyone was delighted by the venue, the activities, the transfer coordination and everything! Long live Surf Office! Can’t wait to plan our next company retreat with you :)
Our team offsite retreat was excellent - great food, weather and activities. Even the people that couldn't attend wished they could have made it. And the location was perfect. Surf Office - Thank you very much for your help and support with planning and organization - and Beatriz our retreat manager was fantastic - fast, efficient and always kept us informed. It really made the difference. It really did!
Surf Office helped us plan our 60 person staff retreat, scoping locations, venues, restaurants, activities, and more. Angela was really on top of it and paid close attention to all of the details. Definitely saved us time on research and back-and-forth with all of the various contact persons!
We went into talks with SurfOffice and hit it off with the founders to make this happen. Theres a team that will guide you through the choice and a platform for when you are to arrive with an agenda. Our team likes to bring in community members to these types of events and the crew is excited. The onboarding is going well and we paid the deposit, and we're looking forward to the trip. Our party had to reduce significantly due to constraints and the team has been accomodating so far. 5* everyone had a good time and Rayna on site made everyone feel comfortable.
The location was great, the areas dedicated to us were amazing and all things we asked for were there - also, I love the shared dashboard to organize.
I recently worked with Surf Office to organize an offsite retreat for my company in Gran Canaria, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Beatriz, the retreat planner, was incredible. From start to finish, she was exceptionally organized, responsive, and attentive to every detail. Planning a retreat for a team can be daunting, but Beatriz made the process seamless. She answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly, and her recommendations were spot-on. The offsite itself was beyond amazing – the accommodations and activities were perfectly tailored to our team’s needs. Surf Office took all the stress out of planning and delivered an unforgettable experience for our group. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a work retreat. If you’re lucky enough to have Beatriz as your planner, you’re in great hands!
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
