We bring the host and every painting supply to your office in downtown Napa, the business parks near the airport, American Canyon or up the valley, set up before you start and clean up after. The party happens in your building, so nobody drives between wineries or out to a venue.

A Wednesday, 9:00 to 11:00 am, 30 guests. A morning party for a team whose busy hours come later in the day: it's done before the midday rush, the cards turn into thank-you notes for the clients and suppliers the business leans on, and the canvases dry in a back room while everyone works.
Before 9:00
The host sets watercolor paper, paints and brushes at every seat and stands the easels and canvas boards along a wall for the second hour. You provide water access and trash cans.
9:00 am
A set of four cards with the host guiding the techniques. Everyone keeps three and writes the fourth as a thank-you to a client, supplier or neighboring business the team leans on.
10:00 am
Thank-you cards dry flat on a side table, ready to mail or drop off later in the week, while the easels come out at the same seats.
10:05 am
A guided acrylic painting on a 12 x 16 inch canvas board. Aprons, paints and brushes come with it, and no experience is needed.
11:05 am

From downtown Napa and the business parks by the airport to American Canyon and the offices up the valley, these are the local details that shape a December party and other team building activities in Napa, California.
Many Napa teams work in hospitality, food and other visitor-facing jobs, where afternoons, evenings and weekends are the busy hours, and December is a busy season for some of them. An evening party asks those people to give up a shift or a night off. A weekday morning, or the day your business is quietest, gets the most people in the room.
Plenty of people who work in Napa live in Vallejo, Fairfield or Sonoma County and drive in on SR‑29, on SR‑12 through Jameson Canyon, or on SR‑121 from Sonoma, all of which slow at commute time. Vine buses link Napa with the Vallejo ferry terminal, Fairfield and BART for anyone who rides. Holiday weekends bring visitors to downtown Napa and up SR‑29, so keep the party on a weekday.
December is one of Napa's rainiest months, and the sun sets around 5. Up the valley, SR‑29 and the Silverado Trail are mostly rural, with few streetlights, so a rainy drive home after dark is slow going. A morning or midday party keeps everyone's drive in daylight.
Many Napa offices are small: a downtown suite, a business park unit near the airport, or a winery's own office or event room. Painting needs water nearby for rinsing brushes, a cover over any carpet, and a spare table or back room where wet canvases can sit for a few hours. If you can, pick a room near a kitchen or break room sink.

Yes. A winery's office or event room works like any other space if it has tables and chairs, water access and trash cans. Neither workshop involves alcohol, so the party fits a normal workday, and people go straight back to work or drive home after.
