A wine tour is one of the few offsites that works for a mixed team — it needs no athleticism, no icebreakers, and it gives people something to talk about. The planning risk is entirely logistical.
Build the day around one anchor
Pick one estate with private space for a seated tasting and a meal, then add a single second stop. Two locations for a corporate group of twenty is the ceiling — every additional stop multiplies the loading time.
Vehicle math for 10–30 guests
Two Sprinters beat one coach for groups under thirty: they load faster, park at estates that cannot take a 40-foot vehicle, and give you a fallback if someone needs to leave early.
- 10–14 guests — one executive Sprinter.
- 15–24 guests — two Sprinters with staggered tasting seatings.
- 25–30 guests — two Sprinters plus a private estate room booked for the full window.
Timing and paperwork
A 10:30 departure and a 5:00 return keeps the day inside normal working hours and avoids the evening traffic. Ask for a certificate of insurance and a single itemized invoice up front — both are standard for us and both are what procurement will want.
Always plan a non-alcoholic track. Estates will happily pour juice flights and mocktails if you tell them the count in advance.
