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.
We got incredibly positive feedback. Many people said it was the best offsite we've ever had. So that's obviously the most important thing from like an organizational point of view. It was super nice working with you guys. I really enjoyed it. It was the first year we had an agency like you guys on board and it did really help, especially now having a much bigger team.
We did send a survey to everyone after the event. And the feedback was very positive. Everyone loved the hotel. People were saying that the food at the venue was very good, which I agree with. The rooms were great. The meeting space was perfect for us. Obviously the beach and the area were perfect. I think it was a great location for our team. There were some people that said this was the best summit they’ve attended.
The feedback has been impeccable. Everybody loved the hotel, loved the staff, loved the support from Surf Office, everything. All the expectations were, you know, not even just met, but went beyond. We loved the way we were taken care of.
The overall feedback was really fantastic. Everybody really liked the venue. They really liked being in the same location. We had a wonderful partnership and we’d love to work with you again.
We walked into it anxious. We walked away from it absolutely amazed by the results. It was so well organized. I would never have been able to do that alone, you pulled that off entirely. It was amazing. The team is buzzing! It blew people away. It definitely blew us away.
I was stressed out before the retreat cause I never did the planning. As soon as we arrived to the hotel, they knew everything and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Big thumbs up to the Surf Office team for the general flexibility, and for the communication.
It was absolutely perfect. There wasn’t one thing that I can criticize. We had a fantastic time, really really good. It went so smoothly, everybody was very happy. Anybody that asked now about how the offsite went, I just say: “It was amazing, you only can use 1 company, you don’t need to use anybody else”.
Amazing. It was I think a really lifelong memory. I think the whole team had a really great time. I never could do this without Surf Office.
It was an awesome experience. It went super smooth, the drivers were on time, food was great, and the flexibility of the hotel was great. We had a truly amazing time and all because of your great work and preparations – you were like the magic fairies that organised everything so beautifully!
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
