This winning combination was recently put to the test in a charming agriturismo near Bergamo, where we orchestrated a delightful culinary adventure for ABB, a long-standing client with an international team visiting Italy.

ABB's Team Cooking: Learning the Art of Fresh Pasta

We selected a farmhouse near Bergamo as the location for the event. The day had two main objectives: guiding ABB team members in creating a delicious buffet and teaching them how to prepare tagliatelle and ravioli under the expert guidance of a professional chef.

Under the watchful eye of the chef, participants were introduced to the art of homemade pasta. However, it was not merely a simple cooking lesson; it was a carefully designed exercise aimed at fostering collaboration, enhancing internal communication, and stimulating creativity.

Guided and supported throughout, all participants gained new skills, learned from their mistakes, and celebrated team spirit by taking part in a cheerful and enjoyable competition. The aim was to identify the team most skilled at mastering the secrets of artisanal pasta-making. The winners were awarded custom oven mitts featuring the company’s logo, a delightful keepsake from a memorable day spent together.

Dinner and Interactive Quiz: A Perfect Conclusion

Participants savored the handmade pasta dishes prepared by the chef, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment as they enjoyed perfectly “al dente” tagliatelle and flavorful ravioli. We kept the energy high during dinner with one of our quiz games—an interactive activity featuring light-hearted questions and company trivia. It encouraged interaction, reinforced corporate culture, and provided great entertainment.

The event's success was evident in the smiles, laughter, and animated conversations. The team strengthened bonds and created lasting memories.

Customer Feedback

ABB's feedback confirmed the effectiveness of the chosen approach, emphasizing that the team-building activity focused on making homemade pasta was "an excellent way to work together and strengthen internal bonds," as well as a "fun and interactive experience."

Moreover, the dinner was highly appreciated for fostering a sense of togetherness, the quiz thrilled the participants, and the warm, welcoming setting was also praised.

The organization of the event received glowing reviews, with the client particularly impressed by the presenter, who, through their ability to inspire enthusiasm and energy, contributed to a "wonderful atmosphere and an unforgettable evening."

Finally, ABB remarked, "It was a fantastic team bonding activity, and I believe it truly strengthened our team spirit." They expressed their gratitude once again to Smart Eventi and everyone involved in bringing the event to life.

Building a Team: The Strength of Team Building

Precisely for these reasons, team building activities are of utmost importance in the corporate world, provided they are well-organized. The culinary team-building event in Bergamo once again demonstrated that the key to fostering strong professional relationships is often found outside the office, in more relaxed and creative settings. By combining learning, interaction, and sharing, team spirit can develop much more naturally and effectively than in a traditional corporate environment.
