team bonding leads to team building.

Today’s workplace looks quite different than ever before. Teams are spread out. More and more people are working from home. The need for employees to stay meaningfully connected and maintain fruitful relationships with clients has never been greater…or more challenging. My corporate events bring people together in fun, engaging ways to experience delicious food and drink and, most importantly, spend time together.

Reward your team for reaching a tough sales goal. Indulge employees after a day of meetings. Bring potential clients together for the tastiest networking event they’ve ever experienced. Plan a late-morning tasting to celebrate a birthday. Make your holiday party one that will be talked about for a long, long time.

Whether virtually or in-person, I’ll create a unique and tasty experience that your guests will never forget.

  • Dazzle your guests with an incredible cheese tasting experience they will never forget.

    Enjoy amazing cheeses sourced from artisan producers across the country and around Europe - no supermarket cheeses here - expertly paired with condiments and other treats in irresistible combinations! Because of my personal relationships with producers, suppliers, and retailers all over the cheese universe, I have access to some of the best stuff out there.

    While your guests are eating and drinking, I bring the learning. From how the cheeses are made and where they come from to the best ways to serve and enjoy them at home, I share what makes cheese so special through stories and experiences from my travels abroad, all in a casual, entertaining way.

    To round out your celebration, consider adding wine to your event, creating spectacular wine and cheese pairings (I wrote a top-selling book on it!). If it’s a bit early in the day for wine go for a tea & cheese event and let your guests experience how good cheese paired with outstanding green, black, and herbal teas can be.

    Want to add a competitive element to your event? We can make it a blind tasting event, or include culinary trivia. Sort everyone into teams and let people test their knowledge to see who wins the title of Big Cheese!

  • Who doesn’t love chocolate? Treat your employees or clients to a truly exceptional experience by enjoying one of the world’s most beloved foods!

    My chocolate events feature bars and treats from all over the world. Through my relationships with spectacular artisanal producers, suppliers, and retailers I have access to some truly amazing stuff, which means a top-notch experience for your guests.

    For an exciting way to wrap up the work day, a wine and chocolate pairing event can’t be beat. Globally-sourced chocolates are expertly paired with wines in gloriously delicious ways. Your guests will learn what makes each pairing unique and special, helping them create their own favorite pairings at home.

    Looking for a way to wrap up that late-morning meeting that is just too early for wine? Try a tea and chocolate pairing event! Guests enjoy a selection of black, green, and herbal teas paired with scrumptous chocolates. More of a coffee fan? Make it coffee and chocolate.

  • Turn your event into the happiest hour ever! Explore the amazing world of spirits and cocktails with an event filled with shaking, stirring, and sipping. Following the recipes for cocktail culture’s greatest hits, your group will enjoy mastering the art of mixology while learning the tips and tricks of the trade.

    If kicking back and relaxing while sipping on a beverage sounds more like it, I offer spirit tasting events that keep it simple. Sip on bourbon, tequila, rum, and others while learning how they are made, the history, and what makes them so special. Cheese and chocolate pairing options take your event to the next level, offering even more ways for your guests to enjoy the experience.

    If your team can’t be together, no problem. A virtual event is every bit as fun and educational as being together - no designated driver needed! There are options for your guests to receive kits containing everything they would need to whip up delicious cocktails right at home. For those guests who live in places that don’t allow alcohol to be shipped, ingredient lists are provided to make sure they can pick up what’s needed before the event.

  • Wine education is one of today’s most popular event themes. Whether learning about the basics of wine tasting or mastering the principles of wine and food pairing, there is more interest in wine education than ever. My wine events are a comfortable, low-stress way to learn all about wine. Suitable for all experience levels, I present useful information in an approachable style. From complete novice to experienced consumer, there is something for everyone.

    How about some friendly competition in your event? I offer options that give your guests a chance to pit their wine skills against each other for bragging rights in a fun, interactive experience. My blind wine tastings break everyone up into teams to sample wines hidden in sleeves. Using clues and tips I provide, each team tries to guess the grape and country in the bottle within the time allowed. For those who love trivia, my wine trivia event is just the right balance of nerdy and fun. Whether grouped in teams or done individually, guests try to answer trivia questions about wine’s history, how its made, styles, and so much more! It’s a casual, breezy way to see just how much wine knowledge you really have.

  • The perfect choice for a late-morning team building event, celebration, or just about any occasion when a non-alcoholic experience is preferred, my tea and coffee events are a great way to learn all about two of the world’s most-consumed beverages in a relaxed, friendly setting full of information on how tea is made, how to purchase and prepare it, and lots of other helpful tips and trivia to make sure each guest gets the most out of the experience. Your guests will receive customized packages containing teas or coffees from small craft producers and farmers.

  • Can’t get the whole team in one place? Do you want to include team members on the other side of the country? No problem. My virtual corporate events bring everyone together.

    Just about every option available can be chosen for virtual events. (Alcohol shipments are determined by individual state regulations.) I handle all the ordering and shipping, making sure everyone has their treats on time and in great condition - no extra work or attention required by your planning team. Once I have the guest information, I take care of it all!

 
 

Fair & Easy

I strive to only use products that come from farmers, producers, and suppliers who share my beliefs in fair trade, equality and, whenever possible, organic methods of production. I want to feel good about the relationships I have with my suppliers, and I want you to have confidence in what is being enjoyed as well.

As with all my events, I handle all the details in sourcing and shipping everything, making sure it gets to each guest on time and in great condition. From the first moment we connect to the conclusion of the event, my priority is a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone from the organizers to the last participants.
