Teambuilding and Group Activities

Test your knowledge of wine with a blind wine tasting facilitated by our sommelier. Guests will be broken up into groups and will sample two different wines (a red and a white). The wine bottle will be placed in a brown bag to conceal the label and bottle shape. Guests will have 15 minutes to guess the continent, country, region, grape and year of each wine. After the game, enjoy a tour of our awardwinning Wine Cellar, or combine The Wine Educator with Blind Wine Tasting Game for an extra fee. Activity is hosted on property at Grand Cascades Lodge.

Explore the science and art of dyeing fabric with intuitive artist Jessica Darling. Learn how to identify seasonal local dye plants accessible and how to transform them in the dye bath onto sustainable and upcycled textiles. Participants will dye their own piece of fabric using dyes found in the region and around the Resort.

Visit a local farm to meet cows, horses, goats, donkeys, ducks, geese and more. Learn from a local farmer about the animals and leave with the ultimate souvenir to memorialize your event . . . an unforgettable photo of your team with all their newfound farm friends.

Join our Certified Herbalist & Naturalist for a nature hike to discover the edible and medicinal plants which can be found not only throughout the region, but in your very own backyard! She will share helpful hints for proper identification, as well as easy & efficient methods for harvesting and preparing these plants at home.

Teams will work with a local beekeeper to build a bee box with supplied materials. The beekeeper will share fun facts about how a bee colony develops, how honey is made, as well as how bees are critical to local agriculture and the food chain. The completed bee boxes will be donated to a local farm and become the new home of a bee colony. As a thank you for supporting the local bee population, your group will receive souvenir jars of sweet honey from your sponsored hive at a future date.
