Wine @ Work.
Our unique corporate events combine engaging wine experiences with business strategy.
According to Einstein, Combinatory Play, the act of opening up one mental channel by dabbling in another, is the essential feature in productive thought.
We combine wine drinking with strategic thinking to open up the creative juices and accelerate productive thought in the workplace.
Corporate Experiences.
Uncork a bottle, activate your senses, open your palate and let the creative juices flow.
Team Building.
Open communication, critical thinking, getting to know each other on a deeper level and fun! These are all elements of successful VinoKarma team building exercises which we achieve with the help of wine.
