Arblaster & Clarke Wine Tours for Corporate Hospitality or Incentives
An Arblaster & Clarke Wine Tour gives you an ideal reward for your best clients, or incentives to thank your hard working team members as they blend exclusivity and excitement in a focused social event. They offer your staff or guests an experience that many of them aspire to and yet may have never have had the opportunity to participate in.
Due to the special nature of the events, the level of acceptance is likely to be very high which is an important consideration – and the event will prove to be very memorable. We know that your delegates will talk about them for weeks, and even years afterwards. We can make the event exclusive in the extreme, part seminar/conference, or if you prefer, focused on wine education, or, just a party! As we can provide wine experts to be present at your event if you wish, from Masters of Wine, to wine journalists to internationally famous wine personalities, it is possible to include some “serious” educational tutored wine tastings, so that your guests or team will really learn how to taste wine and how to select it from complicated restaurant lists or from wine shops.
As the world’s leading wine tours specialists, we have unrivalled, genuine contacts in all the regions that we operate to. When you call A&C to discuss your event, you will speak to someone in our team who knows the possibilities, the areas, the hotels, the local specialities and the wines and how to make them work for you. We will discuss with you what level of seniority of staff or management you are planning to take or who your clients are – as matching the style of tour to the clientele is essential for the success of the event, of course.
We can organise your event to anywhere in the wine world – you have 21 countries to choose from! Although Champagne and Bordeaux are the areas that we have operated to for the longest and are popular due to their fame and proximity to the UK, there are lots of other exciting ideas we can offer. For your sophisticated opera-loving guests, we can arrange first category tickets to the world famous stages of La Scala,in Milan, the State Opera House in Vienna, or the romance of La Fenice in Venice, combined with luxury hotels, superb gourmet meals and wine visits or wine tasting if you wish. If you have a particularly big success to celebrate, why not do so in style aboard a small luxury yacht in the Aegean or Med; for senior level staff the fascination and beauty of the vineyards of the Douro valley are perfect as there are some superb new 4* boutique hotels to relax at, or of course, Italy with its gorgeous countryside, comfortable hotels, sophisticated cities and vast array of wines never fails to impress.
Another important considersation, especially in these current economic circumstances, is that Arblaster & Clarke Wine Tours have 100% externally regulated financial guarantees no matter how you choose to travel – this level of financial protection extends to our corporate clients. So you can not only rest assured that we will provide you with a professional and excellent level of service, but also all monies paid to us are protected by bonds lodged with the CAA (ATOL 2543) and ABTA (Membership Number Y5806).
Superb Event Organisation
Arblaster & Clarke have been organising Corporate Incentive Wine Tours for 24 years. Our Wine Tours are the crème de la crème, with exclusive visits, expert guides and an unrivalled service, that ensures every trip is a resounding success. We apply this ethos to our Corporate Incentive service and we will pitch the content to exactly the right level for your clients and staff. As well as knowing which venues can physically handle your event, we know which are the most interesting cellars to visit and how to get the most out of them for you and to match the choice of venue to your guest list. We have proven ability of putting on complicated, extremely well run events for up to 200 people, though can of course arrange special, memorable events from just two participants.
