Doze's Energypods are a way for people to relax and recharge with a timed nap during meetings and conferences and in offices. The pods measure 84 inches long by 48 inches wide and stand 58 inches tall, and are designed to recline to an optimal zero gravity position to allow for relaxation without falling into a deep sleep. They are equipped with built-in speakers and a timed-awakening system; the pods require a standard 110v outlet. Rentals start at $199 a day per pod for events.

The Carneros Inn's Vino and Bocce Experience

In August, the Carneros Inn expanded its group activity options with the Vino and Bocce experience. It’s ideal for groups of 24 or fewer, with a total of 16 people playing on two bocce courts, but larger groups can be accommodated in a tournament-style competition. For those not playing, the on-site restaurant Farm provides wine service via a tasting or satellite bar. Each court rents for $500 for two hours, plus the cost of wine.
