Sales and Marketing Executive Retreat
Gravel Experiential brought together their client's Sales and Marketing Executives amidst the stunning backdrop of Sonoma, CA for a combination of meetings and team building over three days. The Lodge at Sonoma served as the home base for meetings and guest accommodations.
Following productive and strategic meetings, including small break-out sessions for deep work, Gravel Experiential produced group activities and excursions to foster team building and camaraderie. These activities included an authentic grape stomp with Grapes and Games, biking with Sonoma Valley Bike Tours, and fine dining experiences at Wit and Wisdom, Ottimo (including a chef demo and wine sabering with a sommelier and musical entertainment by Nate Lopez), and Silver Oak Napa Valley. Gravel Experiential managed all hotel accommodations and planning, transportation, food and beverage, as well as all off-site excursions.
The comprehensive wine country experience successfully combined strategic business planning with authentic regional activities that strengthened team relationships while showcasing Sonoma's renowned culinary and wine heritage.
