team building
skills building
Why settle for the same old team building activities, when you can have an exciting, engaging, out-of-the-box “edutainment” event? Overcome challenges within your organization and build stronger teams, while using wine as an element to increase engagement and reinforce the learning.
Fostering teams and developing skills
In a world of changing work dynamics, fostering teams that are not only productive, but have synergy to build and maintain a competitive advantage, is increasingly important.
Likewise, skills building and forming working networks within your organization may need to be more intentional. We will work with you to design a session that compliments and integrates for more impact and greater retention.
- Development Experiences: Curriculum and frameworks to support strategic planning, skills building and team building, paired with a wine experience.
Wine Experiences: Not all events need the curriculum. Sometimes it’s just about having a fun experience and bringing people together. Pick one of our wine experiences for a little bit of wine education, and a lot of fun.
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.
marketing & branding
Deeper knowledge of your customers yields ongoing dividends. Helping cultures that are working to be more market or customer focused by educating on your customers and competitors.
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. Helping them focus on how the work impacts the strategy and solving the critical problems.
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.
