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.
Surf Office was amazing to work with - from the initial introductory call to the final day of our corporate retreat! They are well-organised, transparent, super reliable and the communication throughout the planning and execution phase was prompt and clear. We are looking forward to working with them for future company retreats.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Elke and Álvaro to plan our onsite, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us create a great event. Elke was so thoughtful and organized, always making sure every little detail was covered and keeping everything running smoothly. She brought such a positive energy to the process — she was super approachable and made collaboration easy and fun. Throughout the entire planning period, they both went above and beyond to support us. I really appreciated how proactive they were in anticipating our needs, and how enjoyable every interaction was. It truly felt like working with partners who cared as much about the success of our onsite as we did. Thank you, Elke and Álvaro, for being such a joy to work with! I’d happily work with you both again any time.
It's our second year working with Surf Office for our company offsite (30 pax first year, and 42 pax second year), and we're super happy! This year our offsite was a huge success, with direct impact on our employees' satisfaction, company culture, and alignment with our mission. The week they put together for us was perfect on all fronts: venue selection, logistics, activities, last-minute changes - everything was super well executed. Couldn't recommend them more! And... I know whom we're working with next year!
Working with Surf Office was a great experience from start to finish. Communication was smooth, the planning was thoughtful, and the platform made coordination easy. We really appreciated the well-curated suggestions for locations, activities, and restaurants – everything felt carefully considered. Beyond that, the setup created a great team atmosphere, making it easy to connect and enjoy our time together. We would definitely recommend Surf Office to any team looking for a well-organized and inspiring retreat.
Danielle, Giselle and the SurfOffice team were extremely cooperative, understanding and flexible to support my team’s 80-person offsite in Belgrade, Serbia. From being patient with our company’s lengthy vendor due diligence and procurement process, to responding swiftly when an attendee misplaced her passport - everything went really smoothly. Working with them took a huge load off our shoulders and their relationships with hotels/activities/venues also helped us secure good deals. Would definitely recommend their services to any company who’s looking to plan for an enjoyable team offsite.
We recently organized our company offsite with SurfOffice, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning: The location selection and contract negotiations with Giselle, to the actual planning and execution of the offsite together with Elke, everything was handled exceptionally well. Working with Elke was truly outstanding. She was incredibly proactive, always thinking several steps ahead, and responded extremely quickly to every question or change. She managed to get fast answers from all providers: from transport companies to hotels and local activity partners- and did so with a consistently friendly and professional attitude. Thanks to her dedication, we had little organizational workload on our side, and we always felt fully supported. The offsite turned out to be an amazing experience for our whole team, and we’re certain we couldn’t have organized something like this on our own. SurfOffice played a huge role in making our offsite in Kemer such a success, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them to any company planning an offsite for a larger group.
Sara was fantastic in organising our company trip to Istanbul - she was quick to reply, offered great solutions to issues, and made the trip itself seamless and enjoyable. Already looking forward to the next one!
Expertise and competence in service. Friendly, helpful, and respectful communication. Comfortable, welcoming, and inspiring surroundings.
This was our second year working with Surf to plan our annual company retreat, and once again, they smashed it. We had a beautiful, restorative and fun retreat just outside of Barcelona that the whole team loved. It was so lovely to have the team's support in planning such a complex event, and they did a great job at helping us stay within budget. Great experience overall.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
