How wine can influence your next event

How wine can influence your next event.

First Published: 21st May 2024
What wine to serve at dinner can be the thing that makes or breaks a successful corporate reception or gala evening. But wine can feature in so many other ways. 
This week, connoisseurs will be celebrating International Chardonnay Day and the start of English Wine Week. It seems timely, therefore, to consider what else vineyards and wineries can offer the event organiser, other than something delightful to savour with a meal. 

The eternal quest for somewhere memorable

The choice of location and venue sets the tone for an event. You may need to prioritise ease of access and want a city centre, or require somewhere more remote that provides space for relaxation. 
Vineyards and wineries are usually set in beautiful countryside, which immediately gives you space for the formal meeting elements of your agenda, as well as areas for getting outside and enjoying nature. 
One of the standout advantages of wine-related venues is the array of built-in entertainment options they offer. Wine tastings, vineyard tours, and wine-pairing dinners are just a few of the engaging activities that can be seamlessly integrated into your schedule. 
These experiences not only add an element of fun and education but also provide opportunities for networking and team bonding in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. For team-building events, activities like grape stomping, blind tastings, and blending workshops can foster collaboration and camaraderie among participants.
