Business meetings can be productive yet draining. To help teams recharge and break the meeting routine, Kimpton’s Hotel La Jolla in San Diego offers “Wellness Uncorked,” a program designed to refresh both mind and body between sessions. The experience is flexible—serving as a morning energizer, an ice breaker, a team-building activity, or a networking moment—so attendees return to the agenda renewed and engaged.
“Each option in our new Wellness Uncorked getaway lets guests experience our distinctive approach to wellness,” said Erin Guccion, sales director at Hotel La Jolla. “Whether employees choose to start the morning with soothing poolside yoga, energize their minds with kayaking in the Pacific, or wind down after a full day with a chef-led wine-pairing course, these choices create meaningful bonding and natural ice-breaker opportunities.”
The Wellness Uncorked program blends physical activity, restorative experiences, and culinary enjoyment to suit different group needs and energy levels. Morning yoga sessions beside the pool provide a calm, focused start that helps participants move away from screen fatigue and into a present, collaborative mindset. For teams seeking a more active option, guided kayaking on the Pacific offers fresh air, gentle exercise, and a shared outdoor challenge that encourages teamwork and conversation outside the usual meeting setting.
After a long day of presentations, the program’s culinary and wine-pairing experiences offer a relaxed, social way to decompress. Led by the hotel’s culinary team, these sessions pair thoughtful tasting menus with carefully chosen wines, giving guests a chance to connect over food and conversation in an informal setting. This combination of wellness activities and chef-driven experiences supports both individual wellbeing and group cohesion.
Hotel La Jolla’s approach is intentionally flexible: activities can be scheduled as short interludes between sessions, longer team-building blocks, or evening wind-downs. Planners can tailor the program to their group’s size, objectives, and preferred pace—whether the goal is to boost energy, promote creative thinking, or simply provide attendees with restorative time away from a busy agenda.
By bringing wellness into the meeting schedule, the hotel helps transform routine business gatherings into more balanced, memorable events. Participants return to the conference room feeling refreshed and more connected to their colleagues, which can enhance engagement and foster a better meeting outcome overall.
