Fun Activities for Groups in Napa Valley
Traveling with a group can be challenging, especially when you’re trying to find and plan activities that the whole group will enjoy. So I donned my thinking cap, did some digging online, and have listed some great ideas for groups activities here in the Napa Valley below.
Irish Coffee Masterclass and Whiskey Tasting - I’m a little biased on this one and think that for a unique experience in Napa Valley that veers away from the typical wine tours, the Irish Coffee Masterclass and Whiskey Tasting offers a culturally rich and engaging activity. Hosted by me, Andrew Healy, an Irish native who has lived in Napa since 2008, this masterclass is ideal for groups of 4 to 20 people including corporate groups, family gatherings, and even bachelor/ette parties looking to add a twist to their celebrations. The session involves learning about the history of Irish coffee, hands-on creation of your own beverage, and whiskey tasting accompanied by Irish shortbread. It’s a delightful way to start the day and perfect for groups seeking something different.
Adventure and Team Building with Getaway Adventures -Getaway Adventures offers specialized team-building tours that are perfect for enhancing corporate dynamics, as well as providing a fun and active way for any group to explore the Napa Valley. Their tours may biking, hiking, and kayaking, tailored to suit the fitness level and interests of the group, ensuring a memorable and bonding experience for everyone involved.
Napa Valley Balloons: A Sky-High Adventure - Floating above the beautiful landscapes of Napa Valley in a hot air balloon offers a breathtaking and memorable experience. Napa Valley Balloons caters to all types of groups, from corporate teams to family reunions, providing a serene and stunning view of the wine country at sunrise. This peaceful flight is a wonderful way to bond with your group while taking in the unique perspective of the valleys and vineyards below.
Pedal Through Napa with Napa Pedal Crusher - For those looking for active group outings like corporate retreats or family gatherings, Napa Pedal Crusher offers guided bicycle tours through scenic routes. This activity combines physical exercise with the enjoyment of outdoor beauty, making it an excellent option for team-building or simply a fun group adventure in the fresh Napa air.
Corporate Team Building at Escape Room Napa - Escape Room Napa provides a dynamic environment for corporate groups looking to enhance teamwork and problem-solving skills through escape games. These activities are designed to foster group communication and collaboration, making them ideal for corporate team-building events, as well as fun for families and friends who enjoy a challenge.
Winemaker For a Day at Raymond Vineyards - Raymond Vineyards offers a special "Winemaker for a Day" experience, where you can blend your own Napa Valley Bordeaux-style red wine. This activity invites participants to learn about winemaking in a hands-on setting, making it perfect for corporate team-building or a fun day with friends or family. You’ll have the chance to cork and label your own bottle, offering a unique takeaway from the day. This engaging experience provides a deep dive into the art of winemaking, guided by experts in a creative and explorative environment.
