Best fun I've had in a while!!! I went here for a work training on a Saturday. Good thing the…read moreweather was perfect!!! During the 90 minutes my rotation had for this course, I ended up doing 4 of the 6 available challenges: 1. Tight Rope: I basically climbed up a bunch of staples and walked across a rope that was 30 ft in the air. It was nerve wracking, but it helped to know I was secure and wasn't going to fall into anything. Tricky, but a pretty fun way to start off since you can hold onto a series of several ropes that are hanging above you along the way. 2. ZIPLINE: I think this is scary when you climb up to the platform, but after that this is by far the most relaxed and enjoyable experience. Once you push off, everything is secure, and all you can really do is savor the few moments in your life that you will spend feeling like a bird! Beautiful, beautiful view along the way :) 3. The Broken Bridge: This is a bunch of planks. You can hang on to the rope that secures you, but the point is kind of to not hold onto anything and to try and walk across this unsteady bridge stretched up about 15 ft above the ground. It was pretty fun, and I felt a lot better once I started taking a few steps on it to get used to the feeling. 4. Leap of Faith: This is the scariest, gutsiest part of the course, I think. You basically climb up a 30 ft pole, stand on the very end of it, and then jump off to try and catch a trapeze. I was really nervous about this one and it was the last one I did, but obviously, I lived to tell the tale, and I don't regret trying it out one bit. Ten-out-of-ten, would do it againnnn. The two I didn't do: 5. The Catwalk: You basically climb up and walk across a log without holding on to anything. Yes, you are still secured to a rope, haha. BUt the point is to balance and stretch your boundaries by walking across, doing jumping jacks, walking backwards--whatever you want. I didn't do this one, but a lot of my coworkers chose to walk backwards on it once they made it across the first time. 6. The Swings: This is literally a set of wooden plank swings attached to a log that you have to get across. It seemed physically intense. I didn't do this one, but a lot of people had fun with it and made it across either sitting on the planks or standing on them. As someone who is usually afraid of heights, I thought I was definitely NOT looking forward to this. The breakthrough that you reach while you go on this course, though, is its whole point. Lupe and Trinity, two of the main people running the course, are super friendly, and all of the staff are great about making you feel safe, encouraged, and welcome. Overall, the course was fantastic for helping my work team up its enthusiasm and unity during our mid-year slump, and it was nice that I ended up surprising myself (what?) with how I was able to settle my nerves and jump off of 30-foot high things with abandon....

Update: We have contacted Wine&Dine for next year' Napa Event and they have already exceeded our expectations. They know the best locations and have all the necessary contacts. We have both big and small groups coming to Napa and they have worked within our time constraints and within our budget. In fact Wine&Dine Events has once again saved us money. Due to their organizational skills we are able to see so much more of Napa and visit the hidden gems throughout the Napa Valley that most will never find. If you are looking to visit Napa Valley, you need to contact Wine&Dine Events, otherwise you are wasting your money.

In fact, I'm super surprised that I'm actually getting an FTR for this business, but I'll take it! We had approximately 45 in our group of yelployees and we all randomly split up into groups of six or seven. It was a wine making event and we were all given four types of wines and told to concoct our own blend. Malbec was my favorite by the way... The Cabernet Sauvignon was a close runner up. Each group came up with a team name and then nominated one person to sit on a panel of judges. The judges selected the best wine from the groups and the winning wine was then bottled and everyone was able to take a bottle home. How cool is that? Even cooler is the fact that my group won! Thank you Stephanie I, Paul R, Paul S, Vivek P, Laura N, and Zeva B for being such awesome team players. I had a blast drinking and concocting and winning with all of you! Our team name was "Tres" for the three wines we used in our winning blend and for the French meaning too. Plus, it just sounds sophisticated and cool, doesn't it?! (We came up with the team name after throwing out a bunch of other cool names including Sexy Juice, Grape Expectations, Burst, Happy Ending, and a handful of others.) Thank you, Total Adventures for working with us. I really do feel like I bonded with my fellow colleagues and I came home with an awesome bottle of wine to boot. As a matter of fact, I may just have to open that bottle this evening and relive the experience. I highly recommend this company if you're looking for a super fun, well-executed team-building activity for a group.

It was -- to use a Lettermanism -- 'info-tainment:' these guys specialize in staging wine blending…read moreevents for groups, and in a room full of wine drinkers, we had a ball (note: this might work with winos too, but I have a feeling that the results might be less discerning). As it was, things tend to unfold a little like this: each team (there ended up being seven or so groups) chose a team name, and was presented with four carafes or so of Cabernet Sauvingon, Merlot, Malbec and one more (Cab Franc, I wanna say?). They laid down a few ground rules (you were required to specify a 'base wine' (my term) for each blend, sample each, and then ultimately choose one that would move on to the judging round at the culmination of the event. Our theory, right or wrong (and actually, if you're keeping score, it ended up being wrong, but oh well), was that we'd produce a blend that would be distinct enough on the palate that it would emerge from the pack. Apparently what that ended up meaning, of course, is that it ultimately wasn't particularly good, and save one first place vote(!), we finished next to last in voting. That said, the voting was almost an afterthought here, mostly because we were all engaged in the gentle craft of wine blending, and learned along the way what the rules re: blending are when calling a wine a wine of a certain type of vintage. It's a subtle science, perhaps, but Total Adventures served this one up just right: at room temperature, with just a hint of the bouquet of friendly competition. Cheers.

Our game was the pirate themed Depths of Osiris (check out the preview vids on YouTube), and it was perfect for a team of an adult and two ten year olds. My boys had no trouble getting used to the VR gear they had to wear for the experience (a headset and two hand controllers - it was their first time). We had to cooperate to solve each room's puzzle to unlock a new room. Eventually, we got to the final scenario which was exciting and really required us to collaborate. The puzzles were well constructed and mostly understandable from a logic perspective. The graphics and sound were pretty decent (it's not super-high res like Cyberpunk) and matched the gameplay perfectly. We got some timely tips from the game master too, and cleared the puzzle with about a minute left on our 45 minute timer. The facilities are super clean and well maintained. They also have snacks and drinks which are nice to make the visit special for younger kids. My sons want to come back, and I do too. I also heard they are adding a physical escape room, so definitely something to look forward to.

I've been to Diablo Escapes twice now and have always been impressed by the customer service. Make sure you get there 15-20 minutes early so you have time to finish any waivers and get your packs set up for the room. There is an adjacent parking lot so you shouldn't have any issue finding any spot. You can easily book online and see what difficulty level each game is. If you've done VR or escape rooms before, you can probably start with intermediate. Each game will require some communication and teamwork to solve challenges or other puzzles. It can get a little hectic, so make sure you mesh well with your group (truly). The VR component really makes you feel like you've been transported to another place - be warned that it can make you feel a little queasy if you're not used to it, but the staff are great in making sure you are comfortable. They're quick to help troubleshoot if you get stuck or anything. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun group outing. We went over to philz coffee after and then went to Bare Bottle Brewing for some lunch and drinks.
