How to Host a Memorable Corporate Retreat in California Wine Country
Reconnect your team, spark creativity, and get real work done—without the beige hotel ballroom.
Why Corporate Retreats Are Making a Comeback
In a post-pandemic world, in-person team connection matters more than ever. Corporate retreats are back—and they’re smarter, more intentional, and focused on what really matters: connection, creativity, and culture. But not just any location will do.
A memorable retreat isn’t about a stuffy hotel—it’s about space to think, relax, and collaborate. That’s where Fitz Place comes in.

Located in the heart of Santa Clara Valley wine country, Fitz Place is a private, historic estate that sleeps up to 15. It offers vineyard views, a pool, a bocce ball court, firepit lounges, and cozy gathering spaces that feel both luxurious and down-to-earth.
And unlike corporate venues that feel transactional, Fitz Place feels intentional—like your team is stepping into something special.
