Workshops & Wine Experiences
Developing your leaders and teams to be more Efficient, Effective and Engaged
Our unique approach to team building and skills development includes facilitated workshops paired with a wine experience that reinforces and supports the skills learned.
This approach delivers something unexpected and fun that helps make the development more memorable, and therefore more impactful.
Culture Development, Approaching change or building innovation muscle
All of these workshops have common goals: alignment and preparing for change.
We pair them with a Vertical Wine Tasting of the same wines over multiple vintages. We will lean how the winemaker approaches each vintage to align customer needs with the brand. We will also explore how the wine changes over time and how to appreciate the changes along the way.
Building trust, breaking down silos or communicating effectively
Our goal is to build effectiveness within and between teams. A newly formed team, a cross functional team or teams with new members all need to work on building trust in order to operate effectively.
We pair these types of workshops with Wine and Design Branding Experience. Choosing the right wine, designing the label, naming the wine and presenting using formatted worksheets, has people sharing and learning about each other and other departments.

Deeper knowledge of your customers yields ongoing dividends
We pair a fun refresher or introduction to understanding how to tie your brand to your customer(s) needs. We use an especially unique experience of Wine blending and Branding Experience. Working in teams they blend a wine to appeal to their customer, design the label, name the wine and build a launch plan.
Problem solving skills or departmental team building
Our goal is to build efficiencies within and between teams.
We pair these types of workshops with The Wine Detective Challenge. A team based blind wine tasting challenge that has individuals communicating and working together in order to solve the case. It is educational, fun – with a little competition thrown in.
Inclusion, innovation or regulation
The wine industry is long and varied. It also has a global aspect and strict regulation. It is one of the oldest industries.
We can use this knowledge to create unique Wine Tastings where we explore how the wine industry approaches a topic. Not only educational, but it presents new ways of looking at things. This could also involve the winemaker for an extra special experience.
effective networking or designing for customer / employee experience
Creating the right experiences and being more effective in networking are proven to increase ROI.
