Business events in Tuscany


Business events in Tuscany


Spring planning is upon us and for incentive travel activities, teambuilding and corporate events the most hectic period begins.



Why is Tuscany the ideal venue for your corporate event?

Tuscany is where our headquarters is located so this is our backyard we know in and out. But it is not just for that, we think Tuscany is ideal for what it offers in terms of nature, gastronomy, wine and unbelievable history. We believe Tuscany is an ideal destination for corporate events, conventions and meetings that can easily be combined with moments of relaxation, fun, culture and outdoor activities.





Ideal locations would be Florence, Siena, Lucca, Pisa, but also the Chianti zones, Casentino, Lunigiana and the Maremma. These are all places where it is easy to combine an professional atmosphere for meetings, corporate events, teambuilding activities together with cultural activities to art metropolises, cooking classes, wine tastings and visits to wineries, cheesemakers, oil and saffron farm tours.









Why not organize your corporate event in the Chianti Classico area? Stay in the same wonderful place where you stay and work with your guests. We can arrange outdoor activities, wine tours and a gourmet food tours.



For recreational activities, participants will be accompanied by a wine expert to visit some of the most important wineries of Tuscany and to experience the Italian wine scene.

For those who love the wine, you can visit some of the finest purveyors who create the famous cuisine of Tuscany: pecorino cheese, cinta senese Tuscan breed of wild boar, saffron and much more!

For those who don't want to miss exhibitions and treasures of the Renaissance, our art and culture guides are available to show you great masterpieces of the cities, towns and villages in Tuscany.





If you prefer to stay away from Florence and Siena, but you still would like Tuscany to be the stage for your corporate events, there are many other places where guests can enjoy unforgettable days of fun, teambuilding activities and more.
