The holidays are just around the corner, and with that comes holiday parties and end of the year parties to celebrate a job well done. It’s a great time of year to build morale and camaraderie in the office, especially as final deadlines are due and stress levels are high with holiday plans. If you’ve been looking for something fun and unique to do with your employees and fellow coworkers to let them know how much you appreciate them, a private wine tasting is the perfect way to do just that.

Why is a Private Wine Tasting the Best Idea for Your Corporate Event?

A private wine tasting at your office is a great way to let your employees know how much you appreciate them. It’s also a unique and fun way to celebrate together. You’ll have a variety of wines for everyone to try, and they’ll get to learn a little bit about wine, its origins, and what it pairs well with. It’s a fun way for everyone to spend time together and build that bond between them while winding down with delicious wines.

What are some ideas of corporate events that a private wine tasting would make sense at?

For Your Company Holiday Party

Celebrating the holidays by throwing a company party is a great way to end the year on a high note and help relieve some of the stress of the holiday season for your employees. But sometimes holiday parties can become monotonous when doing the same thing year after year. Why not liven things up this year by having a private wine tasting? A private wine event includes seven different wines, glassware, and a credentialed sommelier/instructor. It’s all taken care of for you so all you have to do is book the event and show up for a good time. It’s a great way to celebrate the holidays and enjoy a wonderful evening together as the year comes to an end.

To Celebrate a Job Well Done

What a great way to say “thank you for all you’ve done” to your employees by booking a private wine event for them. They’ve been with you through the ups and downs of the year and have stuck it out through the stresses of day-to-day business. Help them unwind and relax for an evening by scheduling a private wine tasting for your corporate event. What better way to thank them for a job well done after a long year. They’ll make memories together, build better relationships with those they work with, and have a great time drinking wine and learning more about the wonderful world of fine wines and its rich history and culture.

To Say Hello or Goodbye to an Employee

Whether you’re welcoming someone new to your company or saying a sad goodbye to a longtime employee, a private wine tasting is a wonderful way to commemorate the occasion. Make that employee feel loved and appreciated by booking a private wine tasting in their honor. It’s a beautiful way to thank them for many years of service or to welcome someone to a new place with many new faces. Wine tastings can help break the ice and create common ground for coworkers to share together. Wine is perfect to help dry up those sad tears of someone leaving after many years together or it can be a happy way to celebrate new beginnings with a new employee. Either way, the person feeling celebrated will feel special and the other employees will enjoy a wonderful evening with them full of wine, learning, and lots of smiles.

To Boost Company Morale

Celebrating wins is always wonderful, but sometimes no matter how hard you work, that client just decides to go a different direction or sales just don’t hit what you were projecting for that quarter. Noticing your employees’ hard work and rewarding them even in the losses can be a huge boost to company morale when everyone is feeling the sting of a loss. It could be the reason you land your next big win because your employees get back up and work just as hard for the next quarter. Booking a private wine tasting is a wonderful way to let your employees wind down and relax after a stressful quarter or even stressful year and will help them feel appreciated even in the down times of business.
