Oracle Park

For baseball fans or those looking for a behind-the-scenes adventure, a tour of Oracle Park will make your group feel like part of the San Francisco Giants team.

This fun, collaborative experience is ideal for building teamwork and creating lasting memories.

Explore Pristine Parkland at Muir Woods

A short trip outside of the city will lead your group to Muir Woods, a 554-acre national park that’s home to California’s famous redwood trees. The towering trees, some over 800 years old, offer a peaceful environment for hiking, meditation, or just taking in the natural beauty of the area. It's the perfect opportunity for a nature break during a busy meeting schedule.

Taste the Best of California Wine Country

San Francisco’s proximity to the world-renowned wine regions of Napa Valley and Sonoma County makes it the ideal jumping-off point for a wine-tasting adventure. Take your group on a wine-tasting tour to explore some of the finest wineries in the region, indulge in gourmet food pairings, or even enjoy a hot air balloon ride over the picturesque vineyards. Whether your group is new to wine or a seasoned connoisseur, it’s an experience that won’t be forgotten.

Educate Your Palette at the San Francisco Wine School

If your group doesn’t have time to venture up to Wine Country, the San Francisco Wine School offers a variety of private experiences closer to the city. You can book a wine-tasting class, where your group will learn to identify different wines, test your palate, and enjoy the education that comes with each sip. It’s a fantastic activity for groups looking to expand their wine knowledge.
