15 Best Team Building Activities in Napa

If you're bringing the team to Napa, we know you are going to include some wine tastings - which are great. But there are so many other fun and engaging Napa team building activities that are available in the area. Choose some of the options below that will allow you to explore Napa and also learn more about your co-workers at the same time.

1. Amazing Race

If the word “race” makes you envision sneakers, shorts and, even worse, running, we're happy to tell you that this race doesn't look anything like that. With our Amazing Race, you will explore Napa in a really creative way as you work with your team to solve puzzles, crack codes and score points by filming your teammates reenacting scenes from movies or maybe even embracing their inner ninjas.

2. Game Show Extravaganza

Napa, California is famous for its wine, and a few people in your office probably know a thing or two about drinking wine. Why not combine the two with a wine-themed Game Show Extravaganza?! Our hilarious hosts will test your knowledge to find the connoisseurs among you, and we can sprinkle in a few random or company-specific questions to keep you all on your toes.

3. Survivor Games

While we can't whisk your company away to a tropical island, we can offer the next best thing with our Survivor Games. Work together to complete tasks such as launching rubber chickens at a giant bullseye using huge slingshots - or forming a human bobsled. Depending on the vibe, we can include Company Trivia Bonus Points and Spirit Points to keep everyone on their toes. You might not pull a hammy playing the games, but you'll probably have sore faces from all the smiling you'll be doing.

4. Grape Stomps

It wouldn't be a team building activity in Napa without at least one wine-focused event, and our Grape Stomps are an epic way to celebrate the heart of wine country. Teams of two will compete, with one person acting as the “stomper” and the other acting as the “juicer” guiding the juice to the exit hole — whoever fills a jug first wins!

5. Cooking Class

Whether your idea of gourmet is popping something in the microwave or spending hours over the stove, a cooking class at PLAYTE Kitchen is a great way for everyone to share their love of a good meal. Attend a cooking class in person or schedule a virtual session so everyone can join, even if they're miles apart.

6. Charity Events

Kudos to you for caring enough about your team to take them to Napa. But while you're here, you can also do something really nice for others. Why not donate stuffed animals to a local Boys and Girls Club with the Build a Critter event! Each person stuffs and decorates a plush animal toy and you'll also design a custom T-shirt for each animal, and write a message to the child receiving it. This event is a great way to give everyone in your company the warm fuzzies!

7. Room Escape

Nothing quite says team bonding like being trapped in a room together. Work with your co-workers to solve puzzles and find keys to unlock the final lock box in our Room Escape game, whether you're a group of 5 or 200.

How we set up your Room Escape will depend on your venue size. We can have you and your co-workers work your way out of a room in our standard Escape Room, race against each other to solve puzzles at a table with our Table Top Escape, or send you whizzing around an entire hotel in our Great Hotel Escape.

8. Ropes Course

Watch your co-workers temporarily transform into uncoordinated spider monkeys when you try a ropes course together. As you cross wobbly bridges and balance beams, your professional facades will crumble as you all bond over conquering your fears.

9. Film Making

The lights of Hollywood just got a lot closer in Lights, Camera, Action…! (Making Movie Previews). Each team randomly chooses a famous movie, then works together to create a movie preview for the sequel. All teams will have everything they could need to make a movie, including a professional camera, boom microphone and costumes. We will edit on-site, and then everyone will showcase their movie previews and vote for the Best Picture!

10. Paint and Sip

Channel your inner Van Gogh, or perhaps Jackson Pollock, as you all sit back and relax while creating some “masterpieces” with paint and sip companies like Paint The Town. While we can't guarantee the results will be ready for auction at Sotheby's, you may find yourself connecting with your co-workers like never before as you try to figure out what the heck Dan from IT has on his canvas. Bonus points if you serve wine from local Napa wineries!

11. Bike Tour

After months of training, you're finally ready for the Tour de Napa! Napa Valley Bike Tours offers relaxing guided bike tours to two or three local wineries and a picnic. Not in the mood to sweat? Electric bike rentals are available so you can get the biking experience with none of the exercise.

12. Napa Valley Wine Train

Move over booze cruise, the Napa Valley Wine Train is the new way to enjoy a drink (or three) while also moving at high speeds. Mix and mingle in a personal car or book tickets for an event like the Murder Mystery Dinner.

13. Balloons Above the Valley

Take your team to new heights — literally — with a group hot air balloon ride. Whether you want to watch your CFO visibly twitch with every foot you rise or your HR director try to assure everyone you will probably land in one piece, you'll all agree that the view from the skies is unbeatable and you'll all remember this treat for many years to come.

14. Fast & Furious

The Indy 500 looks different this year as you work in teams to build and race Tinker Toy cars in Fast & Furious. Teams will send their cars careening down a 36-foot incline race track to see who builds the best car (or who has the best dumb luck!) Each team also chooses a professional driver to take their car down the track. OK, the driver is actually an action figure - but the question is, who's the better driver, Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman?

15. Napa Valley Wine Trolley

All aboard the Napa Valley Wine Trolley where you can watch co-workers showcase their recently Googled sommelier knowledge. Book the trolley for a private charter or try options like the Napa Valley Classic Tour, which takes you to three different wineries.
