Why Team Building with wine?

Team Building activities with wine are an excellent way to engage all the senses in order to stimulate a group’s interest. Sight, smell, touch and taste are the tools that participants will be asked to use for games and for the challenge of the evening. Wine events usually involve a picturesque location, the vast knowledge of a wine expert and enthusiasm of our team to complete the recipe.

Wine Challenge, Aperitivo in Milan or Make Your Own Wine.

Why Team Building with a cooking class?

Using Italian food and culinary arts as a medium for team building will highlight the various aptitudes and abilities of your employees and will be an excellent opportunity to bring to light your participants’ leadership, manual and problem solving skills, organization capabilities and ability to work under pressure.

The best time to organize a team building event in Italy

When you decide to create a corporate event and include team building activities, if you don't have precise constraints on the agenda, there are a few considerations:

1. The goals you want to achieve with the team building activities at your corporate event

If you are launching a new product on the market and you want to motivate your sales force, the period in which you schedule your team building should closely tied to product launch schedule. By doing so, you prepare your staff organically with team building activities that rely heavily on challenge and team spirit to the achievement of the objective.

If you want to reward a work group and motivate them before closing the season, this would also be the ideal time.

At these times you can pick and choose among many team building activities:

Gourmet Team Building Orienteering

Team Building gourmet treasure hunts in the city

Team Building on horseback

2. Theme of team building activities

If you want to create a precise theme team building activity, your corporate event should be planned in most other periods that evoke the season of the event.

Examples:

From September to mid-October, you can tie team building activities to wine

Team Building Wine Challenge in a prestigious Italian winery

Team building Make your Own Wine

Aperitif Team Building

Wine Trivia Challenge

Team Building in Chianti Classico

From mid-October to December, the theme could involve olive oil!

Team building challenge: Olive Oil Tasting and Trivia

During the winter it will be easier to entice your guests by inviting them to compete in the kitchen with activities such as:

Pasta Making Team Building

Team Building Top-Chef Challenge

3. Budget for building corporate event team building activities

Individual budgets will be a key element to keep in mind when choosing the period for your corporate event and will influence the choice of team building activities. Unless you need to arrange a corporate Christmas dinner, we advise you to avoid the peak periods especially August, when it will be more difficult to have all participants available. Also, it will be more expensive to locate the best structure to accommodate your guests. From mid-autumn to mid-spring, it will be easier to select locations for your corporate event with a reasonable budget. By scheduling events in Italy during the non-peak travel season, that will allow you to invest more in specialized team building activities and additional services for attendees.

Of course there are exceptions like for example November in the Piedmont region. This is when the big truffle fairs and festivals take place making the region a high traveled zone with of course higher premiums on accommodation, etc. For further information on how to plan team building events in Italy, don’t hesitate to contact us!
