The 'Gourmet Hunt' is a thrilling and popular team building activity, perfect for exploring Florence's hidden gems and gastronomic excellence while enhancing team spirit. It's an excellent way for groups to bond, learn, and enjoy the rich culinary traditions of the city with a touch of competitive fun.
The group is split into teams and gathers at a designated meeting point (customizable based on starting location). Each team is assigned a 'local angel' assistant to guide them. Teams receive initial instructions to kick off the gourmet treasure hunt and set off to their first stop and tasting session. At each stop, hosted in specialized Florentine stores, participants enjoy tastings of local delicacies. Each team is given game cards and must answer questions related to the product they are sampling. The 'local angel' collects the answers to evaluate the accuracy and calculate the final score.
The hunt usually includes 3 or 4 stops featuring Ham and Cheese, Olive Oil, Wine, and Chocolate or Coffee. The specific stops are chosen based on the season, availability, and client preferences, ensuring a customized and enjoyable experience.
Depending on the client's needs, the event can conclude at MaMa Florence with a final hands-on cooking test, followed by an aperitif or dinner, or it can end in the heart of Florence. This adds a delightful and interactive finish to the experience.
The activity should be at least 1.5 hours but can be adjusted to provide a more complete experience, extending to 3 or 4 hours, including a final stop. The duration varies based on the number of participants, stages, and chosen course, and can be tailored to fit the client's schedule, ensuring flexibility and convenience.
This team building activity is perfect for dynamic groups of all sizes, accommodating up to 100 people. We recommend organizing the Gourmet Hunt in the spring and summer months to minimize the risk of bad weather and enhance the outdoor experience.
