Escape to Sonoma’s Redwoods
Sonoma offers the kind of setting that makes it easy to leave the usual routine behind. Vineyards, towering redwoods, and the Russian River create a retreat that feels equal parts restorative and inspiring, with incredible food and wine woven into the experience. And while it feels tucked away, it’s surprisingly accessible, STS is about 20 minutes away, while SFO is roughly a 90-minute drive, giving teams an easy escape into Northern California wine country.
RECOMMENDED VENUE
Dawn Ranch
Set on 22 acres along the Russian River, Dawn Ranch brings the best of Sonoma together in one property. Its 86 cabins, cottages, chalets, and glamping tents are spread among redwoods, gardens, and open meadows, giving the resort a secluded feel while still offering everything needed for a company retreat. Flexible gathering spaces, farm-to-table dining, a full-service spa, and plenty of ways to enjoy the surrounding river and forest make it easy to move between productive time together and actually enjoying where you are.

Team Experiences
Redwood Foraging
Head beneath the redwoods with a local expert to discover the edible plants, mushrooms, and seasonal ingredients growing throughout the forest. Teams will learn how to identify and responsibly forage what they find, turning a walk through the woods into a hands-on introduction to Sonoma’s wilder side.
Russian River Kayaking
Take to the Russian River for a laid-back paddle through one of Sonoma’s most scenic landscapes. Teams can kayak beneath towering redwoods, spot local wildlife, and enjoy time together on the water at a pace that leaves plenty of room for conversation and a little friendly competition.
Farm-to-Table Cooking Class
Get hands-on in the kitchen with a seasonal cooking class inspired by ingredients grown right at Dawn Ranch and sourced throughout Sonoma County. Teams can cook, learn, and experiment together before gathering around the table to enjoy what they’ve created.
Small-Batch Wine Tasting
It wouldn’t be Sonoma without the wine. Explore small-batch and sustainably produced wines from local vineyards while learning how the region’s climate, soil, and winemaking traditions shape every glass. It’s relaxed, distinctly local, and gives everyone a little wine knowledge to take home.

There's no better way
As a remote team, it's important for us to create an intentional space for us to come together and connect as more than co-workers. We believe there's no better way to do that than in nature and Wilder Retreats helped us do just that.
Chris Clark
CEO
The best experience ever.
We've worked with Wilder Retreats on over three retreats now and it's been the best experience ever. They have great locations in their pocket, work closely with you on budget and details, and are always a step ahead with planning. I don't know how we'd execute on our team offsites without them!
Britt Cooper
VP of Talent
Nothing short of magical!
Our time with Wilder Retreats in Yosemite was nothing short of magical. We explored, we laughed, and we grew together. It was a humbling reminder of the beauty and power of nature, and of the importance of fostering connections with those around us.

Head of Communications
We'd choose Wilder Retreats again without hesitation!
Wilder Retreats ran our firmwide offsite this year. It was clear we had a true partner in Wilder. From the earliest planning chats through the final goodbye for the airport, our Wilder Retreats team was responsive, organized, and upbeat, so much so that our own staff who worked with them to plan could simply enjoy the retreat instead of juggling logistics. The result was a relaxed, engaging few days where people could focus on connecting with colleagues and re‑energizing for the year ahead. We came away feeling both cared for and confident that we’d choose Wilder Retreats again without hesitation!
Emma Dyson
Chief of Staff
Highly recommend Wilder Retreats!
Wilder Retreats presented, organized and executed a company retreat in Big Sky for us. The details were communicated in a timely manner both prior to the event and during. Our group had an amazing time! I would highly recommend Wilder Retreats.
