Everyday life at the office can be busy and exhausting. Too many meetings, too many emails and too little time to get to know your co-workers properly. Sometimes, a fresh perspective on things can help you to break free from routine work and to renew the team spirit. This is where teambuilding comes into play. This time, we present you three wine-themed options for teambuilding in and around the vineyard. So bring your boss and your co-workers and enjoy yourself during wine-related teambuilding in the beautiful hills of Rheinhessen.
Grape escape in Guntersblum
Escape rooms are a fascinating activity that consists of solving riddles and unlocking secrets. Because they require cooperation, they are a great choice for teambuilding. Here in Rheinhessen, at the center of German wine culture, visitors can enjoy a wine-themed escape room. The Domhof winery in Guntersblum / Rheinhessen has created a unique and innovative escape room inside its wine cellar. The owners Alexander Baumann and his wife Halina are passionate about escape rooms themselves and have created their own escape room about the topic of wine. They spent over a year figuring out riddles and testing them with friends and family until they found the perfect formula. Now guests who visit the winery can not only taste great wines, but also enjoy the escape room as well. This thrilling adventure requires collaboration and team effort and is an excellent team building measure.
Located right in the old wine cellar of the winery, the setting of the game is the following: A group of thieves has made their way into a wine cellar. They plan to steal a bottle of precious vintage wine before the cellar master returns. To succeed, the thieves must solve tricky wine-related riddles all over the cellar. This includes arranging wine-corks to find a keyword, working with oak barrels or correctly naming grape varieties. The clues lead to the key that unlocks the priceless bottle of wine. After finishing the game, players can relax at the winery and enjoy great food and excellent wines.
Alpaca hikes and good vibes
Another great option for team building is working with animals. Exploring nature with an animal is an incredible bonding experience for co-workers and opens up a new and unique perspective. Out in nature, the animals dictate the pace and make you see things from a different perspective.
Alpacas are adorable, fluffy animals with a heart of gold. These camel-like animals, which originate from the South American Andes, make a fabulous hiking companion and provide a great opportunity for team building. In Alzey-Weinheim, you can get up close to your very own alpaca and take it for a hike. After receiving a proper introduction on how to handle your alpaca, the two of you get ready for a two-hour hike. Together with other hikers and an experienced guide, you will guide your alpaca through Rheinhessen’s romantic landscape, crossing fields, streams and vineyards. Along the way, you will discover several highlights and learn more about local viticulture.
