Meetings Planners Bring Their Vision And The Vintage Estate Brings It To Life

YOUNTVILLE, NAPA VALLEY, Calif. - Impeccable meetings are on the agenda from start to finish at the 23-acre Vintage Estate, situated in Northern California's lush wine country. The expansive meeting venue blends the best of wine, food, and two notch hotels:  the 112-room Tuscan-style Villagio Inn & Spa, the 80-room Provencal-style Vintage Inn and the 13,000-square-foot Spa Villagio with 16 treatment rooms and five uniquely-designed personal spa suites.

New for Spring 2012 is The Vintage Estate's newly-announced Meeting Package available now through December 31, 2012.  The package includes continental breakfast, lunch and morning and afternoon meeting breaks at a price of $125 per person, inclusive of service charge and tax.  

Special group rates are available for those meeting planners booking ten or more guest rooms per night, based on space availability at both Villagio Inn & Spa (www.villagio.com) and sister property Vintage Inn (www.vintageinn.com).  The special rates include complimentary welcome beverage upon arrival, bottle of Chardonnay, resort fees, parking, daily newspaper delivery, in-room high-speed and WiFi Internet access, in-room coffee, tea and expresso machine, nightly turn down service, and access to both Spa Villagio facilities and amenities and Yountville Fitness Center.

When it comes to first-rate conference or executive retreats, The Vintage Estate is consistently on the short list of meeting planners for its secluded, self-contained atmosphere and a myriad of unrivaled activities.  Sweeping vineyard views and lush and abundant retreat-like settings make The Vintage Estate an ideal meeting locale.  With its 30,000 square feet of diverse indoor and outdoor meeting space, it is without wonder that meeting planners make The Vintage Estate in Northern California their destination of choice.
