Event Recap Overview

The first annual Vacation Oasis Home Design Experience was an amazing first step in what we hope to be an annual event that will bring together homeowners, designers, builders and materials suppliers all at once.  Our mission was to create an engaging environment in the heart of Sonoma wine country for those seeking to connect with premium home decor brands, design firms and home builders.  Our turnout was fantastic and we saw a very diverse group of attendees that included homeowners from the San Francisco Bay Area, along with nationally recognized businesses who serve the region.

 

With the support and assistance of our leading partners, Ceramic Tile Center and Premier Bath & Kitchen, we accomplished our objective to bring the tradeshow experience to Healdsburg.   We could not have done it without the additional support of our exhibitors, marketing partners and events team.  Thank you Bacchus Landing and all the independently owned wineries at Bacchus for your contribution as well.

 

In addition to hosting great complimentary wines, gourmet mac n cheese, and pizza, our guests were able to enjoy some very lively and engaging panel discussions with leaders in the home design and materials space.  Check out a brief recap of our panels below.
