Meet in <strong>Sonoma</strong><br />
It’s not always wine and cheese in <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> – we know how to get down to business<br />
as well. <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> is also a great spot for pre- and post-convention meetups from San<br />
Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento. Here are some quick ideas on how to make the most of<br />
your <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> meeting.<br />
CHOOSE THE RIGHT HOST HOTEL <strong>Sonoma</strong><br />
<strong>Valley</strong>’s lodging options for meetings include luxury<br />
resorts like the Lodge at <strong>Sonoma</strong> and Fairmont<br />
<strong>Sonoma</strong> Mission Inn & Spa, intimate high-end hotels<br />
like MacArthur Place and Kenwood Inn & Spa, as well<br />
as unique spots like Olea Hotel or Gaige House, both<br />
in Glen Ellen. For budget-conscious meetings, The<br />
Best Western <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> Inn has meeting space<br />
plus an enviable location just steps from the historic<br />
<strong>Sonoma</strong> Plaza.<br />
GET BEYOND THE BOARDROOM We get it:<br />
Table. Chair. Some coffee. But having a meeting in<br />
<strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> means you get to go beyond just<br />
the meeting room and take your group out for an<br />
amazing experience. Dinner in a wine cave? Cooking<br />
classes? A bike tour? <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> is a world-class<br />
food and wine destination. Take advantage of the<br />
amenities for a great meeting.<br />
INVITE SIGNIFICANT OTHERS Our quaint,<br />
walkable towns and diverse landscape equates to<br />
things to do for any “plus-ones” that come along for<br />
the meeting. The <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> Museum of Art, the<br />
historic <strong>Sonoma</strong> mission and barracks and the shops<br />
and cafes that ring the <strong>Sonoma</strong> Plaza make for great<br />
diversions while the meeting is in session. At night,<br />
the wine country dining scene beckons for networking<br />
and socializing.<br />
BEST RATES COME WITH THE BEST DATES<br />
Northern California’s wine country has a Mediterranean<br />
climate, which means that when it’s snowy<br />
in Chicago or rainy in Seattle, it’s usually sunny and<br />
pleasant in <strong>Sonoma</strong>. The best values for meetings and<br />
groups are November through April, and Sundays<br />
through Thursdays. Being flexible with when you<br />
come for your meeting can mean finding the best<br />
rates and experiences for your group.<br />
