When it comes to creating memorable food and drink experiences, you might be surprised to learn that we do more than just food tours! While we love creating traditional food tour itineraries for our corporate groups, from time-to-time we’re also asked to create some unconventional (yet awesome!) food-inspired events. For those planning corporate events in Colorado Springs, we’d love to share a few ideas with you!
Below are several events to help get your creative juices flowing in case you are in need of a unique and high quality corporate or team building event that combines food, drink, networking, and a ton of fun!
Manitou Springs is a magical place all year round and the perfect place for a shorter yet impactful corporate event. Packed within a few short blocks are amazing boutiques, souvenir shops, art galleries, historic monuments and eateries. Not to mention the eight mineral springs you can drink from! The downtown core is easily walkable, making it the perfect place for a walking tour.
For this custom corporate event, we started at the Manitou Bath House and ended at the Cliff House. In between our leisure walk we wove amazing stories of history and culture that everyone loved. We also had some time to pop into a few stores for some shopping! In advance, we had custom totes bags made for each guest, which we will filled with taffy from Patsy’s Candy, a water bottle, and the official Manitou Springs visitor’s guide.
If you have a larger budget and aim to impress, this unconventional corporate event was top-notch from start to finish! We worked closely with a chef at The Broadmoor Hotel to develop immersive and multi-sensory tastings and activities that complimented the menu in between and during courses. While we can’t “spill the beans” on all of the tastings we created, we can tell you that everyone was blown away and had a new appreciation for their five senses at the end!
This event kicked off with a fun “name that scent” game. Not only was it interactive, the winner was awarded a handsome prize. There was live guitarist, florals, and even custom menus. It was an exquisitely memorable night!
Our owner, Samantha, calls Castle Rock home, so it was fun to put this unique trolley tour together for the Public Art Commission. We drove through the vibrant downtown area, though the historic neighborhoods, and even over to the famous Castle Rock itself. As we made our way around, Samantha shared about the town’s volcanic past, historic figures, local art and the best place to grab a bite to eat. Guests enjoyed cake pops from a local bakery while driving around in style!
Do you have a large group of 75 or more? We can help bring a traditional sit-down dinner to life by providing event planning services. For this event, we worked with the chef at the Garden of the Gods Resort & Club on a fun Mardi Gras theme. Guests were greeted with beads, masks, a lively jazz band and custom up-lighting. We created fun activities and mini tastings that enhanced the theme – plus we provided emcee services!
Everyone had a memorable evening filled with great entertainment and amazing food!
If our traditional cocktail tour isn’t enough, then this experience might be a great choice for your group! We’ll enlist the best mixologists to put together a hands-on experience where you and guests will get to craft your own cocktail. We can even feature multiple locations and multiple cocktails!
Be the first group to book this event and see how much fun it can be!
Downtown Colorado Springs is a Certified Arts District with more than 300 works of art on display! Our Tour Leaders are passionate about local art, whether it’s murals, sculptures and even alleyways! We will create a unique team-building experience where small group will be on the hunt for the most iconic works of art. Following the competition, everyone will be rewarded for their hard work with drinks and appetizers!
