Team building experiences to strengthen human connections

These experiences use wine as a personal development tool to generate new conversations, create moments and build connections. Your team can build skills, address team challenges and achieve specific business objectives.

Team building experiences
that help you connect with your colleagues

Wine has the power to unite and allows people to connect.

Today, even with alcohol-free wines, teams can enjoy a moment to relax
and let their guard down after a long day of business-focused work.

These team building experiences are a chance for your group
to spend quality time together offsite.

We know that by sharing a new experience
people connect in ways they wouldn’t in the office.

The sessions use wine as a personal development tool,
to generate new conversations and strengthen human connections.

You may be used to regular wine tastings or
informal Ápero events with wines,
but we see them in a different light.

We explore storytelling,
organise offsite activities in memorable settings,
host co-creation experiences and more.

We can facilitate team experiences so you can build skills,
address team challenges and achieve specific business objectives.

We’ll be happy to meet your team.

Wonderful experience! Booked a full day event with bike tours, wine tasting, lots of fun moments to enjoy the beauties of Alsace while celebrating a good time with friends/ teammates. Juan’s customer-oriented mindset, high energy and really pleasant personality made this a very special event. Strongly recommended.

Why do we create team building experiences using wine as a personal development tool?

Team dynamics have changed over the last two years, and those changes are here to stay.

We work and collaborate remotely around the globe but our need for love and belonging remains intact. We still need friendship and companionship if we are to tackle the ever-increasing challenges of our daily work life.

We need to spend time together. We need to connect at a human level. We need to empathise.

Our team building experiences are created to provide the human glue that helps team members relate better to each other. We spend quality time together, create a shared memory and put trust “in the process”. We let the “mountain view” do the talking.

Human magic happens all the time.

We use wine because we believe it is a brilliant communication tool. It is the messenger of an idea, a creation and a thought we can all learn from. It can tell stories and has immense power to unite people around it.

With facilitation, it becomes a personal development and skill-learning tool. It helps us learn, share and create something new.

You may have never elevated wine before to a dimension outside the liquid inside the glass, but now you have the chance.

Juan Lo Bello
Founder & Wine facilitator

Juan, the organizer of team building experiences which use wine as a communication tool
Juan, I often feel like a stranger in a strange land when it comes to tastings or conversations about wine. You helped me realize that that’s because they focus too much on the wine and not enough on the connection we have to the wine or can with one another over a glass of wine. You turn experiencing wine into a life experience. That, I love. Salud!

LEGO and Wines Workshop

We use the LEGO Serious Play method to learn how to explain, communicate and appreciate wines without technical knowledge, without the wine lingo, just using your hands, the blocks and your creativity. Great team challenge. Serious fun!

  • What a beautiful evening! I‘ll be remembering for long this celebration event with our small group. Juan had selected a beautiful spot to host it, and the wines around it. We all enjoyed this lively wine tasting/dinner, full of pleasant digressions around well-selected wines and colourful, tasteful food.

  • Great experience, in a relaxed and cosy atmosphere. My team and I were treated to lovely wines, very well chosen cheeses and plenty of other delicious snacking. We thought we knew some about wine, but we learnt so much in one night, starting with listening to our taste-buds and the feedback they give us when associated with food. As usual with Juan, amazing discovery of much original and rare wines. History, myths, laughter and much indulgence guaranteed!
