Our offers
Culinary team building offers... but not only that!
Four categories of activities, all supervised by our team, and 100 turnkey % programs. You can mix and match them as you like, depending on your group and schedule.
The bar

Shakers in hand, your teams create their cocktails, with or without alcohol, under the bartender's eye. Up to 80 people in a format combined with tapas.
The cellar
Oenology & Tasting
Guided tasting of Burgundy wines, crémant, and champagne, selected with our partner wine merchant. Up to 80 participants.
Custom-made
Custom activities
We don't just offer cooking! Murder parties, escape games, hybrid formats: we build the activity around your team goals.
All our formats
From the Top Chef challenge to the murder party, there is something for every team
The team cooking class remains our great classic: brigades formed, a chef in charge, everyone in an apron and no one on their phone anymore. In one hour, departments that never talk to each other find themselves negotiating the cooking time of a duck breast.
But the kitchen is just a gateway. Guided tastings, introductions to Burgundy wines, team-versus-team culinary challenges: we tailor the activity to what your teams need to experience, not to a catalog.
Cooking workshop
The great classic. Mixed teams, a chef in charge, starter, main course, and dessert cooked and then enjoyed together at the table.
Top Chef Challenge
Mystery basket, limited time, brigade versus brigade, and a jury at the end. The competitive version, for teams that like a little friendly rivalry.
Tapas workshop
Standing format, small bites to share. We cook and graze at the same time, everyone mingles. Ideal right before an afterwork.
Mixology workshop
Shaker in hand, two or three signature cocktails to make yourself. The non-alcoholic versions are crafted with the same care.
Wine tasting
Guided introduction to Burgundy wines, seated or standing, with gourmet pairings prepared by our chef.
Mustard workshop
The most Dijonnais of our workshops. You make your own mustard, talk about seeds and terroir, and everyone leaves with their own jar.
Pastry workshop
Entremets, tarts, or cream puffs with our pastry chef. Precision, technical skills, and a result to take away or share.
Custom workshop
Murder mystery, escape game, culinary olympiads, hybrid format. We start from your objective and build the activity around it.
The extra idea
For large groups, we run several workshops simultaneously. For example, a combined tapas and mixology workshop: one team prepares the bites, the other the cocktails, and then everyone gets together to enjoy both.
They also combine during the day: a cooking workshop at noon and a wine tasting at the end of the day.
The schedule
Standard team-building agenda
An end-of-day outline that fits just as well in the mid-afternoon as it does in the evening.
5:30 PM · Arrival
Welcome over a drink, aprons distributed, teams formed by the chef. The rules of the game are laid out in ten minutes.
6:00 PM · Workshop begins
Food, tapas, mixology, or a Top Chef challenge: each team prepares a starter and a main course, while the chef circulates and guides without ever doing the work for you. The atmosphere heats up.
8:00 PM · Team dinner
From 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, everyone sits down to eat their own creations. Dessert is prepared and served by the chef, with wines from our partner wine shop if you wish.
10:00 PM · The debrief that isn't one
One last drink, photos, and colleagues discovering hidden talents. That’s when team building works its magic.
Food
At our house, indulgence is a quality
100 % of the food is prepared on-site, the same day, by our team.
Morning
Welcome coffee
Coffee, tea and freshly squeezed juices, mini artisanal pastries and fresh fruit platters upon arrival of the participants.
At noon or in the evening
Lunch and cocktail reception
Standing format, bite-sized food to share. Everyone moves around and talks, with no seating chart to manage.
At noon or in the evening
Seated meal
In glass jars for flexible service, or a chef's meal served on a plate when you want to make an impression.
The breaks
Morning & afternoon break
Homemade cake and fresh fruit platters, set up directly in the room so as not to break your rhythm.
The aperitif
Appetizers & Wines
Wine selected with our partner wine merchant: Burgundy wines, crémant, champagne. Non-alcoholic options just as carefully crafted.

★★★★★An ideal activity for a team building
Cooking together with a chef, learning their techniques and sharing a truly convivial moment. The theme was perfectly mastered, and the pleasure of tasting what we cooked is a real bonus.
★★★★★A seminar well taken care of, from start to finish
A seminar in a pleasant room, an attentive team, and a great meal that we prepared with the Chef! I highly recommend it.
★★★★★A real treat, and lots of tips
A great time spent with family! We loved learning lots of culinary tips with François. Besides being educational, it was a real treat: the dishes were delicious. The atmosphere was top-notch thanks to our chef. We are already looking forward to doing it again!
★★★★★A tour of the world in one workshop
Brazilian aperitif workshop featuring four creations: cod fish accras, coxinhas, ceviche, and pão de queijo. To be enjoyed at the end of the workshop with a caipirinha, delicious!
★★★★★A buffet praised by the whole team
Excellent seminar day, due in part to the venue offered by Salt & Pepper: location, room layout, and the team's flexibility and kindness. Special mention for the lunch buffet, which was approved by all participants: very, very good!
★★★★★Responsiveness, schedules met, unanimity
Everything was there: responsiveness beforehand, a warm setting, a very good welcome, an efficient meeting room, a cooking activity accessible to everyone that was a hit with all 18 people, adherence to the schedule... Truly a top-notch experience.

Frequently asked questions
What we are asked for most often
Do you need to know how to cook to participate?
Absolutely not. The recipes are designed so that everyone finds their place, from the absolute beginner to the enthusiast, and the chef guides each team step by step.
How many people can participate?
From 10 to 100 participants. Up to 24 people can cook simultaneously in the Cooking Lab, and beyond that, we organize rotating workshops or cross-formats combining cooking, tapas, and mixology.
Can we eat what we prepared?
That is even the main idea: the workshop ends at the table, around dishes prepared by the teams, accompanied by wines from our partner wine merchant if you wish.
Can we combine team building with a meeting or an evening event?
Yes, that is the great advantage of the venue: a meeting room in the morning, a workshop at lunchtime or at the end of the day, followed by an evening in the Event Room. One single venue, one single point of contact.
How long does an activity last?
From 20 minutes for an express tasting to 4 hours for a full Top Chef challenge. The duration is tailored to your schedule when you receive the quote.
