Wine team building
Wine Casino evening by Vinextenso: a fun, team-building activity for your corporate seminars
Looking for an original activity to liven up a seminar, strengthen team spirit or simply offer your colleagues a convivial moment? Vinextenso offers a “Wine Casino” evening, designed to combine games, wine discovery and sensory pleasure.
- 20 to 100people
- 1h30 to 3hduration
Perfectly suited to groups of 20 to 100 people, this activity can be held directly at your seminar venue or at any other reception venue. It takes place over an evening, either before a buffet dinner or alongside it.
How the evening works
Split into teams, participants test their knowledge and sharpen their palates at several themed gaming tables, inspired by the world of the casino but given a wine twist:
- Quiz table: general knowledge questions about wine, wine regions and grape varieties
- Aroma table: blind identification of scents from the world of wine
- “Mystery wine” table: a blind tasting to identify a wine from its characteristics
At each stage, teams collect chips according to their correct answers and performance.
Throughout the evening, a tasting buffet run by a Vinextenso sommelier operates alongside the games. Participants can discover and enjoy a selection of original wines, presented and commented on by a passionate professional.
A suspense-filled finale
To close the activity, you have two options:
- A prize-giving ceremony rewarding the best teams
- A mock auction, where the chips won become a currency to symbolically “buy” the finest lots
Which events is a wine casino evening for?
The Wine Casino is for companies that want to bring their teams together around a fun moment, without compromising on the quality of the wines served. The activity naturally fits:
- as a seminar evening, to end a working day on a festive note
- during a buffet dinner or a company party, alongside the buffet
- in a team-building programme, to get colleagues who rarely meet playing together
Why choose the Wine Casino evening?
- Team spirit played out as a team: each table calls on everyone’s intuition and knowledge
- An accessible discovery of wine: the game replaces the lecture and everyone learns while having fun
- Easier interaction: teams mix around the gaming tables and the buffet
