Why Choose Our Destination?
An event in Marin is an event remembered. There's no such thing as a typical Marin event. Because there's nothing "typical" in Marin. As in, one famous bridge away from San Francisco. And right next door to the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma. Closer than you could ever imagine to everything that’s unique in this clever corner of California. There's hang gliding & kayaking. Fresh, sustainable agriculture. The pinnacle of luxury and the world’s finest wines. You can lounge on a beach. Or you can launch yourself from a mountain and soar 2,000 feet to the ocean's break. You can go to dinner. Or you can visit the ranches and farms that supply some of the finest restaurants in the world.
The Marin Convention and Visitors Bureau provides complimentary facility recommendations, hotel and restaurants site tours, RFP services, and meeting attendee travel guides.
