Group Adventures with a
Culinary Difference

Food and drink creates such a great bond between people, ideal for successful corporate and conference activities.  See some photos here of a recent conference partner & delegate activity programme.

"On behalf of AMP we would like to thank you and your team for your exceptional effort for designing and managing the Capital Tastes & Art Meet Craft Beer, Capital Coffee and Restaurant Kitchen Tour, and the Chocolate Espresso tours, which were part of our activity programme at the 2012 AMP Annual conference. These tours provided a unique and memorable experience of Wellington and were thoroughly enjoyed by all. We are pleased to say you received a rating of ‘95% met or exceeded expectations’ for the partner programme activities."
-Adam Leslie, Events Manager, AMP Financial Services, 2012.

"The kitchen tour was a real ‘hit’ and a truly memorable experience. It was wonderful to be hosted so well, it is often our delegates who are doing the hosting of clients and they thought it was very special to be on the receiving end of such lovely hospitality. Thank you for delivering an extremely professional and fun experience for our delegates. The ladies who were your guides seemed as wonderfully warm, professional and welcoming as you are."
-Jeanette Stanton, CINZ Conference Events Manager, November 2011.

"Thank you so much for our culinary challenge! It went really well, got everyone talking and moving around and I heard lots of positive comments afterwards. Thank you for being flexible with us for the timing since we were running a bit late. Overall a great night and we were really impressed with how it all ran."
