About
Napa, Sonoma and the remaining towns that are collectively known as Northern California's Wine Country represent one of the top visitor attractions in the country. The enchanting combination of great weather, scenic beauty, outdoor adventure and some of the world's top wineries and restaurants make the region one of California's most appealing destinations for conferences, meetings and incentive travel programs.
Wine Country offers an ever-changing palate for the senses. Experience late winter's glowing fields of yellow mustard; spring's emerald hills and blossoming fruit trees; summer's vines weighted with luscious green and purple grapes; and autumn's crimson and gold vineyards curving on the horizon.
The Wine Country also offers one of the most diverse playgrounds imaginable. The region plays host to priceless activities, including strolling along the ageless redwood lined trails, hot air ballooning, golf, natural hot springs, bicycle tours, art gallery excursions, shopping, fine dining, and of course, touring world-renowned wineries for an educational, yet entertaining experience. For an unforgettable evening, we will design the ultimate themed dining event either on or off-property complete with engaging Master Sommelier and other specialty components - the perfect finish to a delightful day!
Located just an hour's drive northeast of San Francisco, the twin valleys serve as home to nearly 400 wineries, producing mostly Chardonnay, Pinot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot varietals. In addition to the best-known cities of Napa and Sonoma, some of the more notable wineries, restaurants and accommodations in Wine Country can be found in the cities of Calistoga, Glen Ellen, Healdsburg, Kenwood, Napa, Oakville, Rutherford, Santa Rosa, St. Helena and Yountville.
The region's diversity is its charm. The Wine County offers a lifetime of things to see, places to explore and things to do! Faced with so many choices, it is not surprising that meeting professionals worldwide call upon the team at ACCESS Destination Services to maximize their group experiences in Northern California's captivating Wine Country.
