Wine and business have been intertwined (or maybe intert-wined!) for as long as both have existed. Whether in networking, negotiating deals, impressing customers or rewarding employees, wine often plays an important role in oiling the wheels of commerce. But wine retreats don’t just provide an interesting and productive way to do business or share ideas, they provide a getaway for people to escape from their daily lives, refresh themselves and be inspired by coming together in different surroundings.
Located in a stunning, secluded, spot in a UNESCO World Heritage site, La Verriere has extensive conferencing and meeting facilities. Having our own vineyard and state of the art winery enables us to offer 'extreme' wine-related activities that go far beyond a normal wine tasting – something to give any corporate event that extra special edge.
Social and Informative
One of the great things about wine-related events at La Verriere is their ability to get people talking. The combination of wine and a 'thirst for knowledge', together with the chic informality of the eco-luxury setting, is perfect for enabling the cognitive juices to flow. La Verriere is the ideal venue for team-building, entertaining potential clients and bringing together individuals who wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to associate with each other.
Flexible and Innovative
The space and facilities at La Verriere allow for a variety of interesting activities to cater for a wide range of corporate occasions. Visitors can get involved with the whole wine-making process, quite literally from the grape to the glass – including vineyard tours, cellar tours, wine tasting, wine blending, food and wine pairing, and many more. The ancient history of our 9th Century property also means we have lots of different areas in which to host private meetings, larger spaces for presentations or events, plenty of outside space for socialising and activities and accommodation to allow visitors to stay to experience the ultimate corporate getaway.
Impressive and Inspirational
Wine events in luxurious surroundings have long been used to impress clients and colleagues. What could be more enticing than a beautiful medieval priory with its own vineyard, where visitors can learn how the wine is made before drinking it alongside mouth-watering local produce cooked by our very own Chef. We can tailor-make our events packages to incorporate five-star dining, as well as many outdoor activities and excursions. The natural beauty of La Verriere, and all it has to offer, inspires the best in corporate guests. If you would like to be part of the age-old tradition of mixing business and wine, our dedicated events team at La Verriere can create a bespoke visit for you. Just let them know what you would like to achieve with your event, whether it is a one day conference or a few days’ retreat requiring whole house hire.
