Most team building activities leave nothing behind. This wine blending team building leaves your group with a wine they blended themselves, a label they designed and the memory of having stood in front of the Esporão jury and defended their choices. Starting from a selection of varietal wines chosen by one of the Alentejo’s most respected producers, your teams compete to create the best possible blend, build a technical sheet and design a label before presenting to the rest of the group. The Esporão jury will be paying close attention.
The activity opens with a visit to the cellars, where your group learns about Esporão’s production methods and the logic behind how wine is made before anyone starts blending. From there, three varietal wines selected by Esporão are tasted together, giving every team the same starting point and the same challenge: to use what they have just learned and tasted to create something genuinely good. Teams are divided at the start with a leader appointed in each, and the competition runs through the blending, the technical sheet, the label design and the final presentations, with prizes awarded at the end based on performance. Cheese and cured meat boards with regional Alentejo delicacies are provided throughout.

More about your Teacher Esporão
Set in the heart of Portugal’s Alentejo region, Esporão represents a deep respect for the land, tradition, and innovation—values that resonate strongly with me.
My experience here is rooted in creating meaningful connections between people and the products of the land. Through immersive wine tastings and olive oil experiences, I aim to guide visitors on a sensory journey—one that highlights not only the flavors and aromas, but also the stories, craftsmanship, and sustainability behind each bottle and harvest.
Working closely with both wine and olive production allows me to share a holistic perspective of Alentejo’s rich agricultural heritage. Whether introducing guests to the nuances of terroir in a glass of wine or the complexity of a freshly pressed olive oil, my goal is always to create authentic, memorable experiences.
At Esporão, every detail matters—from the vineyard to the table—and I take pride in being part of a team that values quality, sustainability, and genuine hospitality. This role allows me to combine knowledge, storytelling, and passion to deliver experiences that stay with people long after they leave.
