Take your team away from the ordinary this Christmas

Bring colleagues or clients together for a private festive experience at Calancombe Estate.

 

Set within a beautiful South Devon valley, our award-winning vineyard, winery and restaurant offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional office Christmas party.

Combine productive time away from the workplace with exceptional food, Estate wines and memorable shared experiences, all brought together in a package created specifically for your organisation.

From an exclusive leadership away day followed by a celebratory lunch to a full team experience featuring wine tasting, cheese, a vineyard tour or our Gin School, your day can be as relaxed, productive or indulgent as you choose.

All corporate Christmas packages are individually created and priced according to your requirements.

Your Christmas celebration, your way

There is no standard package to follow. Instead, our team will work with you to create an itinerary around your group, objectives and preferred timings.

You may wish to begin with a private meeting or presentation, break for a festive lunch and spend the afternoon enjoying a guided tasting. Alternatively, you could dedicate the entire visit to food, wine and celebrating the end of the year in the peaceful surroundings of the Estate.

Choose the elements that suit your organisation and we will bring them together into one seamless experience.

Exclusive use of Calancombe Estate

Create a private environment in which your guests can properly switch off from the everyday.

Subject to availability, exclusive use of the Estate and restaurant can be arranged for corporate Christmas bookings. Our welcoming restaurant, private dining areas and meeting spaces provide plenty of flexibility, whether you are hosting a senior leadership group, rewarding your wider team or entertaining valued clients.

With space for groups of up to 50 guests, Calancombe offers the atmosphere and personal service of an intimate venue while still providing room to bring a larger team together.

Private meetings and presentations

Christmas does not have to mean losing an entire working day.

Begin your visit with a strategy session, annual review, board meeting or presentation before moving into the more celebratory part of your itinerary.

Private meeting space and screen facilities are available, with tea, coffee and refreshments arranged around your schedule. Once the work is complete, your guests can move seamlessly into lunch, a tasting or another chosen Estate experience.

Ideal for:

Leadership meetings, annual reviews, team planning, client presentations, company away days and end-of-year celebrations.

Create your experience

Festive food and private dining

Enjoy a seasonal dining experience created by the Calancombe restaurant team.

Depending on the style of your event, your package could include a relaxed working lunch, a festive meal, tapas-style dishes, English cheese and charcuterie, sharing platters or refreshments served throughout the day.

Our chefs celebrate excellent British ingredients, including seasonal produce grown in the Estate’s own Kitchen Garden whenever available. Dietary requirements can be discussed as part of your booking.

Calancombe wine tasting

Discover a selection of award-winning wines produced from grapes grown on the Estate.

Our knowledgeable team can guide your guests through a relaxed tasting, sharing the stories behind the wines and explaining how they are grown and made here in South Devon.

A tasting can be enjoyed as a standalone experience, paired with food or used as the perfect conclusion to a day of meetings.

Cheese and wine experience

Bring together carefully selected English cheeses and Calancombe Estate wines for an enjoyable guided tasting.

This is a relaxed and sociable option for teams, giving guests time to talk, taste and enjoy something different together. It can be added to a wider itinerary or used as the central experience for your visit.

Private Estate tour

Step outside the meeting room and explore the vineyards, orchards and winery.

A private tour offers an insight into life on a working English wine estate, from growing and caring for the vines to producing still and sparkling wines in the Estate winery.

Tours can be shaped around the interests of your group and combined with a tasting, lunch or festive celebration.

Please note that outdoor elements may be adapted according to the weather and accessibility requirements of your guests.

Dartmouth Gin School

For a particularly memorable team experience, add a private gin-making session to your day.

Hosted at the home of Dartmouth English Gin, the Gin School introduces guests to the art of distilling and the botanicals, aromas and flavours used to create a distinctive gin.

Guests can create their own botanical blend and distil a unique bottle of gin to take away, making this an engaging option for team building, client entertainment or a special end-of-year reward.

Availability and suitable group sizes will be confirmed when planning your package.
