We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Tuscany
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Surrounded by Chianti vineyards, rustic villas, and rolling hills, this Tuscany retreat agenda focuses on deep work sessions paired with a single authentic local experience and relaxed countryside evenings.
Tuscany is ideal for teams looking for a countryside retreat with a strong sense of atmosphere. Rolling hills, vineyards, and historic towns create a setting that feels calm and immersive, helping teams disconnect from daily routines.
Most teams fly into Florence Airport (FLR) or Pisa Airport (PSA), both within about 1 to 1.5 hours of most Tuscan retreat locations. From there, teams typically arrange private transfers or vans to reach their accommodation.
May to June and September to October are the most popular months, with temperatures around 20–28°C and ideal conditions for outdoor activities. Summer is warmer and busier, while winter is quieter and more focused on indoor experiences.
Popular areas include Chianti for vineyard settings, Val d’Orcia for scenic landscapes, and areas near Florence for easier access. Most teams stay in villas or countryside estates that allow for private group setups.
Teams often organize wine tastings, cooking classes, guided countryside walks, cycling routes, and visits to historic towns like Siena or San Gimignano, typically within 30–60 minutes.
A 4 to 5 day retreat is common. This allows time for structured work, a few key activities, and enough space to enjoy the setting without rushing.
Tuscany offers a more rural and immersive experience compared to cities like Rome or Milan. The slower pace and natural surroundings create a different dynamic for team retreats.
Yes, transport is usually necessary. Locations are spread out, and teams typically arrange vans or private drivers to move between accommodation, activities, and nearby towns.
Tuscany is known for its regional cuisine. Teams often enjoy long group dinners, wine pairings, fresh pasta, local cheeses, and meals prepared with ingredients sourced from nearby farms.
Tuscany works best for small to mid-sized teams in villas. Larger groups can be accommodated, but may need multiple nearby properties or larger estates.
The retreat went great, even exceeded our expectations. The team have never met before, so people bonding was the biggest win for us. For a first retreat, it was a great place. The location was great. Everyone was very happy and had an amazing time. It was a major success.
Everyone has made it home by now and is still buzzing from the trip. I appreciate your help so much, it was a wonderful all-hands meeting trip.
As we came back last week and just completed our retro on team offsite, wanted to share how much everyone loved everything, the location, the organisation. Thanks so much.
I think the most important thing was that we really felt like you are an extension of our team.
It was an amazing experience and a stress relief working with Surf Office.
It was incredible. It was so beautiful. I got so many compliments on how well organized it was, and I was like, "It was Surf Office".
It was great, it was everything I was hoping for. We're already excited about next time, we'll be working together for sure.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
