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.
We couldn't do it without you. You were a huge support for us. We did a feedback survey asking the team how everything was, asking about the hotel, the food, the program etc. and they were able to rate from 1 to 10, & overall we have a 9.5 So it was really really successful!
The expectations were really high. We put a lot of pressure on you since the start, telling you about our last events in the Moroccan desert and in Eiffel Tower. But it was great. The organization was really smooth. The event was beyond expectation!
We did a survey with the guys, we have like mostly 9/10, or 10/10. People were really having so much fun… they were very happy with the choice of the place. The venue, the weather, the team dynamics, it all came together really well.
I really felt having you being part of it was such an asset. Just knowing that you were point in organizing this and then also if there was a question or problem we could just reach out directly was really helpful.
Everybody loved it! We did a post-offsite survey, and it was all vibes! Everything went to plan. One thing that we were all saying internally as well is like - I honestly don't think we would have made happen unless we had Surf Office.
It was great! People loved the balance of free time and activities. They loved that we gave them options on activities.
We have been doing this since 2008, so it was the 17th event this year. And the consensus was that this was the best ever. Everybody was super happy, they had lots of fun. So it was great.
People got together, people got to see each other. We had really good internal sessions, and also a lot of off time sessions. I feel Surf Office thought of a lot of things that one would not think when you're planning an off site in another country.
We have grown so much since our last event, so were a lot of people, and we needed those three days to talk, to interact with everyone... You handled it so beautifully. We did not have to worry about organizing or arranging anything. You guys did an amazing job.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
