Gastronomy and Team Building

Conference and team-building event with overnight stay and cooking in Mariefred, Södermanland

At Gripsholms Värdshus , you Värdshus for a conference where collaboration, creativity, and fine dining take center stage.

This conference package is designed for groups that want to combine focused work in the conference room with an experiential activity in the kitchen. Here, participants step out of the meeting room and into the inn’s restaurant kitchen—where conversations flow naturally and roles are set aside.

Under the guidance of the inn’s head chef, you’ll prepare the evening’s dinner together—an activity where pace, communication, and teamwork become a natural part of the conference.

The cooking activity begins with a welcome in the hotel lobby, where each participant receives their own apron and a refreshing drink before meeting the Värdshuset head chef.
The activity takes place in the former training kitchen of the Swedish National Culinary Team—an inspiring setting where gastronomy, team spirit, and the culinary experience come together.

Conference Activity – Cooking Dinner Together
During the evening, the group will be divided into teams that will work together to prepare the evening’s menu.

• Appetizer, main course, and dessert
• The activity is led by the inn’s head chef
• Focus on teamwork, pace, and communication
• Dinner is enjoyed together afterward

Cooking creates a relaxed and creative atmosphere where the group interacts in new ways—far removed from the formality of the conference table.
