If you are looking to set up a networking teambuilding event in Florence for a large group, you love great food, wine and fun, then Yes! This culinary networking team building event is especially suited for lively teams that don’t know each other and need to interact freely with other colleagues, partners or clients. The format is in fact rather “free”. Participants are not divided into teams and, the timing scheme is quite flexible.
Welcome to MaMa Florence: upon arrival, your host will present the game to be played and the chef and staff who are on hand to guide you through this “in-the-kitchen” evening. Game attendants may arrive all together or within a timeframe of about 30 minutes, so this team building event is perfect if for example guests are arriving independently.
Each participant will receive a special booklet containing a series of questions that they will be able to answer only after making their way around to the various gourmet stations in the kitchen. They will participate in tastings or in hands-on cooking experiences created specifically for them. Guests are encouraged to team-up with one or two other people, in small groups, in an open, flexible and free manner to facilitate networking and interaction. Guests may also play solo if they wish.
While moving from the cooking demo station to try their hand at pasta making, or by the bartender station to make a classic from Florence, or the wine station to learn the basics of wine tasting and the gourmet stations with tastings of traditional regional delicacies like extra virgin olive oil, chocolate, cheese and charcuterie, participants will network, interact and mildly compete with each other.
The evening is all about movement and mingling, with MaMa Florence’s staff creating a relaxed and fun environment at each of the various stations in the kitchen, cellar and patio. In the end guests' attention will be brought to the winner, who will be announced and declared an “Enogastronomic Critic" with a winner award. The networking event concludes with a delicious buffet of appetizer, pasta dish, main dish and dessert paired with excellent specially selected local wines. Mama Florence’s kitchen is all yours!
This networking event is perfect for groups visiting Florence of 35 to 80 or more. Depending on the time of the year our outside patio can also be used for this event.
