Some of the best team-building activities have nothing to do with building trust and discussing heavy issues. You don’t have to wander the wilderness together or hold one another up on a ropes course, though there is a time and place for that kind of team bonding. 

Every team needs an opportunity for lighthearted fun.  How else are you going to truly get to know one another and relieve the pressure that often comes from work life? Now that the pandemic has limited face-to-face events for many teams, virtual experiences are becoming more popular. They take less preparation time and can save you some money on airfare and hotels as well. 

Wine tasting events are among the best virtual team events available right now. Whether you have a team of five or 100, they allow your team to relax in a fun environment while tasting exquisite wines and sometimes cheese as well. 

What is a Wine Tasting Kit? 

Wine tasting kits are events that present a variety of wines for all participants to taste. While most events were once held in person at wineries and vineyards, there are now many virtual kits popping up at affordable prices. 

Each kit offers a different variety of wine, and some include cheese or other goodies to complement the wine. The best events include live guidance from a sommelier or other expert, ensuring everyone feels included and at home regardless of their previous wine experience and knowledge. 

Wine tasting is a lot of fun when your team is encouraged to simply enjoy the event. They’ll walk away with heightened knowledge about wines in general and will hopefully return to work refreshed.
