Corporate Wine Making Team Building on Long Island
Skip the trust falls and boring icebreakers. Give your team something they'll actually talk about. At wineUdesign in Hicksville, NY, your corporate group creates 240 bottles of custom wine from grape crushing to final bottling. You'll work together, laugh together, and walk away with branded bottles that remind everyone why teamwork matters. This isn't just another corporate team building Long Island event - it's an experience your employees will remember.
Team Building That Actually Builds Lasting History
Most corporate events end when people leave the room. This one keeps giving. Your team shares a private barrel, makes decisions together at every step of the winemaking process, and creates something tangible you can share for months afterward. From crushing grapes to designing custom labels with your company logo, every session strengthens bonds while teaching the art of collaboration. Groups of 6-12 can split a barrel, making this wine making corporate event perfect for departments, leadership teams, or client appreciation experiences.
Here's How Your Wine Making Corporate Event Works
You're not just watching someone else make wine - you're doing it yourselves. Over several months, your team returns for hands-on sessions: crushing fresh grapes, pressing the juice, tasting from the barrel as it ages, then bottling and corking your creation. Our expert guides (who learned from their fathers and grandfathers in Italy) walk you through every decision. Choose your grape varietals from California, Italy, South Africa, or Chile. Decide on your blend. Design labels featuring your company name, logo, or team message. No wine experience needed - just show up ready to learn and connect.
Custom Branded Bottles Your Team Will Be Proud to Share
Here's what sets this corporate wine experience apart: every single bottle becomes a branded reminder of what your team accomplished together. We're talking 240 bottles with custom labels featuring your company logo, team names, event date, or motivational message. Use them as corporate gifts for clients, employee recognition awards, or holiday presents. Hand them out at company celebrations. Or let team members take bottles home to share with family. Each cork pulled is a conversation starter about collaboration and creativity.
