14 . MEETINGS | Never the same. Always San Francisco. MICE ITINERARIES * Whether you’re planning an incentive trip for a small group of top earners, a mid-sized self-contained meeting or any other type of event, we’ve created a few suggested itineraries to help planners create great experiences for attendees. Of course, if you don’t find what you’re looking for here, San Francisco Travel’s Convention Sales and Services teams can lend their expertise to ensure you find just the right locations and service providers. * Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events SMALL INCENTIVE GROUP Bring together top teams from around the world with ease thanks to SFO’s expanded international airlift. WHERE TO STAY: Celebrate your team’s success with a stay in luxurious Nob Hill — a neighborhood rich with history and some stunning views. Or choose a hotel in Union Square, a hub of stylish shopping and outdoor cafes. WHERE TO EAT: With its bounty of award-winning chefs and proximity to California wine country, it’s no wonder San Francisco has earned a reputation as one of the country’s preeminent cities for food lovers. Give your group a taste of the good life by booking dinner at Alfred’s which offers classic steakhouse fare in an elegant leather and wood atmosphere, or drop by Waterbar for bayfront views and oysters on the half-shell. Tideline Water Taxi WHAT TO DO: During warmer months, nothing says luxury quite like a boating excursion on the bay. Book a catamaran tour for your group to get breathtaking views of the skyline and icons like Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge; then host a lunch in Sausalito before making the return trip. Tideline Water Taxi also offers customizable experiences around the bay. Some groups charter a fleet of bikes and ride over the Golden Gate Bridge. Angel Island is also popular for a picnic and staging a mini-regatta on the bay. For a culinary day trip, plan a wine tasting in nearby Sonoma or Napa. Yosemite BEYOND SAN FRANCISCO: San Francisco is ideally situated for a variety of exciting excursions. Spice up an itinerary with a helicopter tour of the city that drops attendees off in Santa Cruz for a beach day. Or head to the Tri-Valley area and explore their beer trail which visits 16 craft breweries, or travel east to Yosemite via the legendary Gold Country in Tuolumne County.
