The Ultimate Team Bonding Experience:
Interactive Dine Arounds for Your Office Holiday Outing
September 2024
​
​
As the holiday season approaches, companies are seeking fresh, engaging ways to bring their teams together, especially after a busy year. While traditional office parties can be fun, they often lack interactive, meaningful experiences. That’s where our team-wide Dine Arounds step in — a festive and unique way to celebrate, unwind, and connect over great food and drinks.

​
Why Dine Arounds Are Perfect for Team Building
Food tours are more than just eating; they provide an opportunity for your team to step outside of the office environment and share an adventure together. As you move from one culinary spot to the next, your team gets to experience a wide variety of local flavors, fostering deeper connections through shared discoveries.
​
Our dynamic Dine Arounds can include multiple stops for food and drink pairings. Whether it’s filled with casual foods, chef demonstrations, or a progressive wine tasting, these experiences encourage conversations and laughter that go far beyond the usual office chatter and into the new year. Add a take-home momento that will remind them of their enhanced camaraderie and the generosity of their employer. ​​​​​​​
​​Interactive Elements that Bring Teams Together
The interactive nature of our dine arounds adds an extra layer of fun to the outing. We can integrate hands-on activities such as:
-
Cocktail Mixology Workshops to collaboratively craft the perfect holiday beverage
-
Sensory Tasting Challenges​ where we guess the ingredients or compare different flavor profiles
-
Scavenger Hunts to compete against the clock and others by working together in small teams
-
Hands-On Cooking be getting behind the kitchen counter and ranking our gastronomy masterpieces
These activities give everyone a chance to participate, step out of their comfort zones, and contribute in a way that fosters teamwork, creativity, and fun in the most delicious of ways.

The Benefits for Your Employees
In addition to enjoying Philadelphia’s amazing culinary scene, corporate teams that embark on a dine around together will leave with much more than just full stomachs. Employees who share these experiences often feel more connected, engaged, and appreciated through:
-
Strengthened Relationships: Food has a way of breaking down barriers. When teams bond over shared meals and interactive activities, it fosters camaraderie and better communication back at work.
-
Reduced Stress: Holiday seasons can be stressful for many, but food tours offer a chance to relax and unwind in a laid-back, festive environment.
-
Boosted Morale: A well-planned outing shows employees they are valued. It’s a tangible way to say ‘thank you’ for their hard work throughout the year.
