Team building wine tasting around Bordeaux and Cognac
Would you like to strengthen the cohesion within your work team? Would you like to improve communication between your employees or simply reward them for their efforts? A team building or other wine-related corporate event will help you achieve this goal!
What is an oenology team building event?
Like any other team-building activity, a corporate wine event aims to develop team spirit within a company through fun, collaborative activities. The only difference? The theme of the experiences on offer! As part of a wine-based team building event in Bordeaux or Cognac, all the activities take place in the heart of the vineyards. This unifying event can take the form of a tasting workshop, a behind-the-scenes visit to the production of a wine or spirit, a walk through the vineyards, a discovery of the region's cellars, a study day at a wine estate or a wine-themed evening.
Why organise team building in the vineyards?
The vineyards are a real playground for companies wishing to offer their employees a unique experience. Collaborative activities take place in an incredible natural setting, at the heart of magnificent ageing cellars or in carefully designed tasting rooms. It's an opportunity to discover exceptional expertise while promoting cohesion and well-being in the workplace.
By taking part in an oenology team building event around Bordeaux or Cognac, your teams will feel valued and pampered. Their motivation will be boosted, as will their commitment to the company. These participative and collaborative activities on the theme of wine or cognac have the advantage of strengthening ties and creating real group cohesion. Once internal communication has been strengthened and made more fluid, productivity will naturally increase. Organising a corporate event around the vineyards has many advantages.
