Looking for an unforgettable, actually-fun corporate offsite in Sonoma? If you want your next company retreat or team event to be memorable (not awkward), we think you’ll love what happens when legendary wines, NFL player stories, and a genuine backyard garden setting all come together. At Three Fat Guys, we believe offsites should spark new ideas, deeper connections, and plenty of laughter-not just a series of boring PowerPoints and boxed lunches.
Why Host Your Sonoma Offsite with Three Fat Guys?
- Award-winning wines, straight from the source. Our lineup runs the gamut from Rosé to Cabernet Sauvignon, all crafted with the same teamwork our founders (three former Packers linemen) brought to the gridiron.
- Zero pretense, all hospitality. Our tasting room is a backyard garden, not a boardroom. That means you get full access to Sonoma sunshine, fresh air, games like cornhole, and relaxed seating for any style event.
- Private events tailored by real humans, not a call center script. You’ll work with a dedicated event host to build your agenda, choose your wines, and add on extras-corporate gifting, custom menus, or even a toast from one of our NFL founders if you want.
- Super Bowl week or a regular Tuesday, we welcome all sizes and vibes. Our doors are open daily, and we love working with Bay Area teams-whether you’re rallying your sales squad, celebrating a quarterly win, or bringing top clients to wine country.
What Makes a Three Fat Guys Offsite Different?
- NFL pedigree that guests never forget. Our founders protected Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers before teaming up to protect your wine glasses. Their story kicks off every event icebreaker and gives guests something to talk about long after the last sip.
- Location that feels local, not touristy. We are right on Broadway in Sonoma, two minutes from the historic plaza but well away from bus tours and crowds. Parking is easy, and the layout works for groups of 8 to 50+.
- Flexibility for your team’s style and schedule. Host a casual happy hour, a seated tasting with paired bites, or a backyard lunch where everyone’s free to wander and mingle. We’re also walk-in friendly for last-minute changes or company extensions.
- Super Bowl energy, every season. Anticipating Super Bowl LX in the Bay Area? Plan a team watch party, champagne toast, or a post-game recovery brunch-with stories that blend football, wine, and Sonoma hospitality.
