The Napa Valley Escape: Network While Black
The Napa Valley Escape: Network While Black
Trip Overview
This one's for the Network While Black woman who wants networking that doesn't feel like networking. No panels, no name tags, no forced icebreakers, just a long weekend built around food, wine, and the kind of conversation that happens naturally when you're not trying to make it happen.
We start with a welcome dinner to bring everyone together, then spend a full day aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train, riding through the vineyards for a gourmet meal and a stop at Grgich Hills Estate for a proper tasting. Saturday slows everything down even further: a spa morning, a poolside afternoon to relax and mingle, and a final dinner together at RH Yountville to close it all out.
This is connection built the way it actually happens: shared meals, good wine, and room to breathe in between.

The Experience
Arrive in Napa Valley and check into the hotel, where we'll kick things off with welcome drinks right on arrival, the perfect way to unwind after travel and start meeting the group. The rest of the afternoon is open to settle in further before we head to Ember Steak for a welcome dinner that sets the tone for the weekend: good food, good wine, and the start of conversations that'll carry through the whole trip.
