Napa Valley

If sophistication is your style, Napa Valley delivers in spades. Imagine indulging in boutique winery tours, savoring gourmet meals, and toasting to friendship against a backdrop of scenic vineyards. This destination isn’t just about wine—it’s an immersive experience of luxury and laid-back charm.


Nashville

Dubbed the bachelorette capital of the U.S., Nashville brings the party with a side of southern warmth. From lively live music on Broadway to the city's quirky charm and trendy hotspots, it’s the ideal destination if your crew is ready for a night (or several) of dancing, laughter, and unforgettable memories.


Cabo San Lucas

For those who crave a mix of beachside relaxation and high-energy celebration, Cabo San Lucas is your go-to. With pristine beaches, chic resorts, and a dash of Mexican flair, this destination promises glamour, sun-soaked days, and nights filled with vibrant energy.


Insider Tips & Essentials

Currency & Language:

  • Cabo San Lucas: Although U.S. dollars are often accepted, having some Mexican Pesos on hand is wise.

  • While English is widely spoken in Cabo, a few basic Spanish phrases—like “Hola,” “Gracias,” and “Por favor”—will help you connect with the locals and add a fun twist to your adventure.


Airports & Transportation:

  • Napa Valley: Fly into San Francisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK) and enjoy a scenic 90-minute drive up to the vineyards.

  • Nashville: The Nashville International Airport (BNA) is just minutes from the city’s vibrant core.

  • Cabo San Lucas: Los Cabos International (SJD) puts you within a short transfer of your resort paradise.


When to Go:

Each destination has its own rhythm—Napa sparkles in the harvest season (September-October) or during the quiet elegance of February through April; Nashville charms year-round with its outdoor festivals and cozy winter vibes; and Cabo offers perfect sunny escapes in spring, with summer heat giving way to a mellow shoulder season in the fall.


Trip Length:

Whether you’re planning a quick 2-3 day getaway filled with spa sessions and rooftop cocktails or a weeklong adventure packed with exploration and relaxation, there’s an option to fit every schedule.


Style Guide:

  • Napa Valley: Embrace maxi dresses, chic jumpsuits, and a light jacket for those cooler evenings among the vines.

  • Nashville: Think playful and trendy—denim, statement pieces, and a pair of stylish boots to tap along to the tunes.

  • Cabo San Lucas: Go for beach chic with flowy dresses, resort-ready swim cover-ups, and lots of effortless glamour.


Where to Stay: Hand-Picked Accommodations

When organizing a group getaway, it's smart to designate a single point person to manage all confirmations, tickets, and receipts in one spot. Also, getting an early headcount is key—many hotels offer attractive group rates when you book eight or more rooms.
