Corporate Team Building Events and Food brings people together!

Spend a day with co-workers outside the office and head to Lake Geneva for a customized team-building event!

Meeting your specific needs and company attitude, Corporate Team Building events create an environment that promotes creativity, communication and cooperation among participants, allowing them to relate in ways not possible in the office. In addition, to successfully transfer the essential elements of teamwork from the workplace into our kitchen, each team is called upon to use collaboration, commitment, goal orientation and leadership. Recent comments include:

  • “We wanted to take a moment to thank you for the outstanding job you and your staff did for our client, West Bend, during the President’s Round Table program we recently held in Lake Geneva.  We always strive to have at least one off the chart element in each program, and thanks to you, we were able to have TWO on this one.”
                            -Leslie and Michelle, Viktor Incentives & Meetings, Traverse City MI

  •  “The group had an OUTSTANDING experience at the Lake Geneva School of Cooking.  I truly believe we hosted on of the best meetings for this group, and you played a very large role in that success!  Your staff was absolutely terrific to work with as well, and we thank each of you for all your hard work and such a delicious meal.”
    -Beth, Taylor Company and McDonald’s, Rockton IL

  • GREAT ACTIVITY! I loved this idea and it was executed perfectly!
  • This was very fun! My favorite part—got to know more people during that then any other time during the summit.
  • My favorite part of the whole week!

  • “I was a little nervous about how our group would take to this type of group function, but one and all enjoyed it tremendously and I am still hearing great comments.”

  • A typical Culinary Corporate Team Building experience is as follows:
  • Before the event, background information, such as meeting themes and buzzwords, is obtained so the team-building experience can be customized for your group
  • Upon arrival, our staff will greet your group and introduce you to Chef John.
  • To start off the event, your group will toast with a sparkling wine and enjoy Parmigiano popovers, while discussing the night’s menu.
  • The group is then broken into teams, each receiving a recipe for their assigned course, a chef hat and an apron.
  • Next, Chef John will lead a group lesson in basic techniques used in the preparation of the event’s dishes, as well as in safety and sanitation.
  • Then the fun begins, as each team begins to prepare their course under the guidance of Chef John and the staff.
  • Let’s Eat!  Once the cooking is complete, the group will then join together for the fine dining portion of the event. Each team will plate their course and help serve their fellow co-workers. In addition, Chef John is available in helping teams choose a wine to pair with their course. Once dining is complete, Chef John provides everyone with a packet of the night’s recipes so that each dish can be recreated at home.
  • Total Event Time: about four hours
