Popular team building ideas
Winelands amazing race
Teams race across wine estates solving clues, completing challenges and earning points. It builds communication, problem-solving and plenty of friendly rivalry, followed by dinner and an overnight stay.
Murder mystery overnight getaway
Check into a historic Cape Dutch farmstead for an evening of interactive theatre, where teams work together to solve the crime over dinner.
Food and wine retreat
A vineyard trail walk, a sparkling-wine tasting and a food-and-wine pairing dinner, with an overnight stay on the estate. Valleys such as Devonvale near Stellenbosch are perfect for this kind of relaxed but meaningful getaway.
Cooking and wine-blending challenges
Teams cook together under a chef’s guidance, or blend and label their own wine with the estate’s winemaker. Both are great for collaboration and creativity.
Outdoor adventures
Guided hikes, mountain biking, sea kayaking, sandboarding or a team golf day suit active groups.
Conference getaways in the Winelands
