Nestled in picturesque Southern California, Temecula wineries make for an inspired choice when it comes to corporate team-building events. They’re great for garnering enthusiasm and active participation, and the stunning backdrop creates the perfect environment for team connection and creativity. We’ve put together five tips to follow for a memorable event that achieves your team-building objectives.
Keep Activities On-Theme
If you’re team-building at a winery, be sure to capitalize on that choice and weave the theme into your event. There are plenty of fun activities to plan for your people. Organize a vineyard scavenger hunt to encourage teamwork and communication, or undertake a wine and food pairing challenge to build connections while exploring the artistry that makes Temecula wineries so special. Grape stomping competitions are also a good option, allowing your team to challenge themselves in a more hands-on (or feet-on) manner. These are unique and enjoyable ways to foster the camaraderie and unity such events are designed for.
Make the Most of the Setting
You won’t find a better setting for team-building than a Temecula winery. The gorgeous vineyards and mountains form an immaculate backdrop for your event and will have your people energized and ready to make the most of the day.
At Avensole Winery, we always encourage our guests to take advantage of the beautiful Temecula sunsets. Capping off your day with a delicious meal on the winery patio and letting your team soak in the scenery creates a truly inspiring atmosphere and an opportunity to reflect on their collective journey.
Give People the Chance to Socialize
At events such as these, it’s important to give people the opportunity to build relationships naturally as well as through preplanned activities. Thankfully, wineries are the perfect place to do so. There’s no need to rush meals or refreshment breaks – these can be some of the best times for your team members to gel. Thanks to the magic of a winery, you’re sure to see rapport and cohesion flourish organically throughout the day. This brings us to our next tip…
Take Advantage of the Wine & Food
There’s no need to worry about what to provide for refreshments – you’re already in the right spot. Temecula’s wineries are highly regarded for their restaurants and food offerings, with many priding themselves on their locally sourced ingredients and farm-to-table practices.
A wonderful option for your team could be Avensole Winery’s Cork & Fork Tour. This is a chance to try some exquisite wines and spectacular food.
