Plan for Transportation to Napa:
Depending on the size of your team and the budget for your company retreat, we recommend a couple of different transport options.
Bus Transport
We recommend Napa Valley Private Transit. Note: We also recommend challenges between buses if you have that many people!
Colleague Carpool
This is the most cost-effective way to get to Napa for your team and does come with some awesome benefits. Randomly assigning carpoolers and create a challenge for each car to complete during the drive is a fun way to get everyone started on fun (read: competitive) foot.
Team Building Activities in Napa (Company Retreat Style)
The Offsite Co. designs and facilitates a host of somewhat infamous team building events for bay area startups!
Private Catering in Wine Country
We can’t recommend this crew enough. We like to think of them as our secret weapon but here they are…on the interwebs.
