Add to this a progressive tasting tour through local markets and wine bars, or a sunset apéritif in a hilltop vineyard for a more relaxed, immersive touch.
Cooking Workshops & Local Tastings
Encourage creativity and teamwork with a hands-on culinary session: Learn the art of Provençal cuisine in a local villa, prepare fresh seafood with a chef in Cannes, or master the secrets of olive oil and tapenade during a tasting in the hills above Nice. These activities foster collaboration in a relaxed, inspiring setting.
Cultural Encounters with Mediterranean Flair
Visit a perfume atelier in Grasse for a sensory team-building session. Organize a private art tour in Saint-Paul de Vence, followed by a cocktail in a gallery courtyard. Include live music, storytelling, or contemporary performance in your evening events to create moments your team will remember.
