Lavaux team experience proposal
Unitek
Your project
You’re planning a day in Lavaux for your team — something that combines time outdoors, good wine, and a proper moment together around food.
You’re working within a clear schedule, with a morning start and an early afternoon finish, and a group with mixed pace and preferences.
This proposal is designed to keep things simple, well-paced, and enjoyable for everyone — without unnecessary logistics or pressure on timing.
Your goal
Create a smooth, well-paced team experience that combines time outdoors, quality wine, and a shared food moment.
The day should feel relaxed and easy to follow, with no logistical friction, while still offering enough structure to keep the group engaged.
