1 - Gourmet stroll

Gourmet walks or rallies are a popular team building activity. They're also activities you can do as a family with your children, so they're ideal for holidays too. These events offer participants a unique experience, allowing them to discover new flavours while strengthening their team spirit.

Gourmet rallies are often organised in small groups and allow participants to work together to navigate through a series of culinary challenges and puzzles. All the while exploring and discovering the nooks and crannies of a city. These activities are a great way to have fun, relax and connect while exploring your city or region in a gourmet way.

We offer different types of gourmet rallies or walks, here are just a few examples of what we offer:
