An Italian gourmet adventure to strengthen bonds within an international team
ABB booked a culinary-themed team building, to be held at a farmhouse in Bergamo. From the initial welcome to the cooking challenge where participants made fresh pasta, the experience combined training with the joy of coming together.

The cooking session where we prepared finger food and pasta was a great way for us to work together and bond as a team. It was a fun and interactive experience, and the common dinner afterward really brought us all together.
The quiz game was a fantastic addition, adding an element of friendly competition and making the evening even more enjoyable. The traditional premises and cozy environment made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming.
I also want to commend the excellent organization of the event and the amazing job done by the presenter. Their enthusiasm and energy really added to the overall atmosphere and made the evening a memorable one.
Overall, this was a fantastic team bonding activity and I believe it really strengthened our team spirit. Thank you to everyone involved in making it happen!
The Client’s Request
ABB's goal: strengthening professional and personal relationships
We proudly renewed our successful collaboration with ABB, one of our long-standing and valued partners. This time, the company asked us to organise an engaging team-building activity for an international group visiting Bergamo.
The objective was to deliver a memorable experience that blended impactful training with opportunities to deepen both professional and personal connections. The challenge? Uniting learning and fun in a single, seamless event.
Our Proposal
Culinary challenge in a countryside venue
For this unique occasion, we selected a picturesque agriturismo nestled in the Bergamo countryside, offering lush greenery and sweeping views — the perfect setting for a standout culinary experience. Every detail was carefully curated, from elegant décor to premium materials, creating a warm and refined atmosphere.
The centrepiece of the day was a hands-on cooking competition: participants teamed up to prepare a gourmet buffet featuring freshly made tagliatelle and ravioli, under the guidance of a renowned chef. The most impressive team received branded oven mitts — a thoughtful corporate keepsake. The event concluded with a convivial dinner where guests enjoyed their own creations, professionally finished by the chef. An interactive quiz — developed in collaboration with the client — added engagement, reinforcing company knowledge and encouraging meaningful team interaction.
Results Achieved
An innovative experience for ABB’s team
The culinary challenge was a resounding success, fostering collaboration and camaraderie in a fun and inspiring environment. Participants crafted an impressive buffet of handmade pasta, turning teamwork into a creative and rewarding experience.
The format proved to be an ideal balance of education and entertainment, achieving all team-building objectives and leaving participants enthusiastic and fully satisfied.
