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.

No plastic. Vintage plates, cloth napkins, real glasses.
