Good wine opens a conversation
Bring different tastes together.
Thrill wine team events bring the pleasure of discovery into a purposeful shared experience. Colleagues learn how to describe what they notice, listen to different preferences and make something together.
From a relaxed corporate wine tasting to a hands-on blending workshop, we match the experience to your people, occasion and investment. First-time tasters and wine enthusiasts can contribute side by side, supported by clear explanations and welcoming facilitation.
Plan an engaging conference session, reward a team, welcome clients or celebrate a milestone. Your wine selection can tell a regional story, complement a menu or become the starting point for a distinctive team blend.
Five ways to find your flavour
Choose the experience that fits your team.
Start with what you want people to experience. The durations below are suggested planning guides; your proposal confirms the wine selection, facilitation, quantities and inclusions.
| Experience | What your team does | Suggested time | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 · Taste & Discover | Guided tasting, aroma discovery and accessible wine appreciation. | 60–90 minutes | Conference connection and welcoming introductions |
| 02 · Blend Together | Compare base wines, test proportions and agree a team blend. | 90–120 minutes | Collaboration and shared decisions |
| 03 · Blend, Brand & Bottle | Blend wine, create a label and present the story behind it; add a quoted take-home bottle allocation. | 2–3 hours | Creativity, team identity and a memorable keepsake |
| 04 · The Regional Table | Explore selected regions with cheese, chocolate or other matched food. | 90–120 minutes | Client hospitality and regional discovery |
| 05 · The Premium Wine Journey | A tailored hosted tasting and blending experience with upgraded wines, food matching and optional winery visit or specialist presenter. | 2–3 hours or a tailored itinerary | Leadership retreats, rewards and special celebrations |
A premium experience is selected for your group’s tastes and occasion. Tell us your favourite styles, preferred regions and budget; we will propose the wines and explain the choices. Bottles, vintages and winery participation are subject to availability.
Ask Thrill to match my experienceThe signature Thrill blending journey
From individual opinions to a shared creation.
Stage 02
Try, measure, refine
Small teams work with measured samples of finished wines. Record proportions, compare versions and adjust the blend in response to feedback.
Stage 03
Agree your signature
Choose a blend together and explain the reasoning. The challenge is to listen, test an idea and reach a shared decision, rather than guess a single “correct” taste.
Stage 04
Create your label
Name the wine, develop its visual identity and write a short story. Reflect your company values, team personality, conference theme or future vision.
Stage 05
Pitch the story
Introduce your creation to the room. A light-hearted presentation brings creativity and commercial thinking together, with recognition for the agreed judging criteria.
Stage 06
Take the memory home
Where included, your blend is bottled and labelled as a keepsake. Confirm bottle numbers, size, packaging and collection or later delivery in your proposal.
Blending uses wines that have already been made. It is not grape fermentation completed in an afternoon. The wine supplier confirms suitable bottling, closure and handling arrangements for any take-home blends.
Eight regional starting points
Explore Australia, one considered selection at a time.
Travel to wine country, or let Thrill bring a curated regional selection to your team event. Choose one regional focus or compare contrasting styles across Australia.
These are suggested tasting directions, not a fixed stock list. Your selection can include wines from the following regions and destinations; the actual producers, wines and vintages are agreed during planning.
South Australia
Barossa
Explore Shiraz-led richness and texture. A bold starting point for discussing structure, balance and the contribution each component makes to a blend.
Victoria
Yarra Valley
Discover Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as a starting point for conversations about elegance, aroma and stylistic contrast. Ideal for a considered appreciation flight.
New South Wales
Hunter Valley
Build a regional journey around Semillon and Shiraz. Combine wine discovery with a Hunter Valley conference or bring the region’s character to your venue.
New South Wales
Mudgee
Consider Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Compare the styles selected by your host, then discuss how personal preferences influence a team decision.
New South Wales
Orange
Explore high-elevation wine country through Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc or Shiraz. An engaging setting for comparing freshness, aroma and texture.
Queensland
Granite Belt
Discover Queensland’s elevated wine country and its range of alternative varieties. Ask for an exploratory selection that introduces the team to something unfamiliar.
Queensland destination
Gold Coast Hinterland
Connect a retreat with the cellar doors of Tamborine Mountain and Canungra, or request wines from selected hinterland producers at your venue. Your host distinguishes winery location from the grapes’ growing region.
Queensland
South Burnett
Explore boutique producers and varieties such as Verdelho, Shiraz and Sangiovese. A Queensland-focused tasting can uncover new favourites and the people behind them.
Winery visits are arranged by enquiry, subject to the host property’s group capacity and availability. Naming a region does not imply an exclusive winery partnership or a confirmed event at every cellar door.
Two ways to gather
Your venue. Or a journey into wine country.
We bring the experience
Mobile wine workshops
Bring the wine conversation to your Sydney office, Brisbane conference, Gold Coast hotel or private function venue. Thrill coordinates the proposed wine selection, facilitation and workshop equipment, with room layout, glassware, food and service responsibilities confirmed in your quote.
Make a destination of it
Winery & regional experiences
Build a retreat around a cellar-door experience or a private group session. Discuss the Hunter Valley, Mudgee, Orange, Yarra Valley, Barossa or Queensland wine destinations. Thrill can coordinate an itinerary around available hosts, travel time and your conference schedule.
For mobile events, we check venue approval, table space, water, glassware, preparation access and clean-up arrangements. For destination events, discuss transport, accessibility, dietary requirements and time between stops before confirming the itinerary.
Explore Hunter Valley team events, Sydney team building, Brisbane team events and Gold Coast team experiences.
More than a tasting
A shared process, with something to show for it.
Listen. Experiment. Make a decision together.
Wine offers an approachable way to explore differing perspectives. One person notices fruit, another texture, another the story on the label. Thrill facilitation helps turn those observations into a collaborative process.
Agree the purpose before the event: connection across departments, creative confidence, inclusive decision-making or a celebration of collective effort. A short debrief can connect the experience to everyday teamwork.
Practical outputs can include a recorded blend recipe, a team label, a short pitch and one agreed workplace action. Ask us to add simple participant feedback against your chosen objectives.
Add a playful vintage
A little wine-country energy.
Wine-themed games & seasonal experiences
Add an aroma challenge, wine knowledge quiz or team label pitch to your workshop. Outdoor wine-country games or grape stomping can be discussed where the venue, season and setup suit.
Keep the games focused on discovery, communication and fun. Grape stomping is a separate activity; it does not produce the finished wine used in your blending workshop or take-home bottles.
For a longer program, pair your workshop with a Hunter Valley Thrill Amazing Race or team cooking experience.
Welcoming by design
Everyone can contribute to the blend.
Wine tasting is optional. Share your team’s preferences so we can plan appealing non-alcoholic alternatives and meaningful roles in design, recording, presenting and decision-making. Participants should feel comfortable choosing how they join in.
Wine experiences are planned for adult groups, with measured tasting serves, drinking water, suitable food and responsible service arrangements. Thrill confirms the venue and supplier arrangements during planning. Tell us about transport, dietary needs and alcohol-free requirements when you enquire.
Useful details
Wine workshop questions, answered.
Can you bring a wine workshop to our office or conference?
Yes. Thrill can plan a mobile wine experience for an approved office, hotel, conference or function venue. We confirm space, access, equipment and service requirements with you and the venue.
Can beginners enjoy the experience?
Absolutely. The host can introduce wine appreciation in everyday language, while inviting more experienced guests to explore the selected wines in greater depth.
Can we blend wine and take a bottle home?
Yes, request the Blend, Brand & Bottle format. Take-home bottles must be included in the quote. Confirm the allocation per person or team, bottle size, labels, packaging and whether bottles are ready on the day or supplied later.
Can we choose the wineries and wine regions?
Tell us your preferences. Thrill can propose a selection from the regions featured here and discuss particular wineries. Stock, vintage, group bookings and any specialist presenter remain subject to confirmation.
Can our label feature company branding?
Yes. Share your logo files, brand guidelines and intended message. Confirm whether labels will be created during the workshop, printed beforehand or produced after the final design is approved.
How many people can take part?
The format is tailored to your group. Larger conferences may use multiple hosted tables or rotations. Tell us numbers, timing and venue details so we can propose staffing and a practical layout.
How much does a wine team event cost?
Your proposal reflects group size, wine selection, host expertise, food, equipment, venue, travel and any take-home bottles. The old page’s sample price is not used as a current offer; request a tailored quote.
What if some colleagues do not drink alcohol?
Tell us in advance so we can include suitable alternatives and roles in label design, presenting and team decisions. For a wholly alcohol-free group, ask Thrill to suggest a different sensory or creative workshop.
Is transport included in a winery visit?
Only where specified in your proposal. Discuss the full itinerary, pickup and return arrangements with Thrill before booking.
How do we book?
Send your date, venue or preferred destination, participant numbers, budget, objectives and preferred experience through the Thrill planner. Include wine preferences, food needs and whether you want personalised take-home bottles.
