The New Era of Company Retreats: Purpose, Adventure, and Global Possibility

The New Era of Company Retreats: Purpose, Adventure, and Global Possibility

If there’s one thing the last few years have taught us, it’s that connection at work matters more than ever. But as companies navigate hybrid teams, global talent, and the evolving meaning of "culture," the standard company offsite no longer cuts it. Teams want something more — more intentional, more impactful, and more memorable.

At Artisan Venture Tours, we’ve reimagined what a company retreat can be.

Introducing our purpose-driven retreats across the U.S., Europe, and Canada — experiences that blend the best of local adventure, cultural immersion, and volunteerism to create something truly unforgettable.

Why Purpose-Driven Retreats?

When people come together outside of the office, walls come down. Trust builds. Ideas spark. But when you add a layer of shared purpose — like giving back to the local community — those moments stick for life.

That’s why our new "Give & Grow" retreats include curated volunteer experiences, tailored to your team’s goals and values. Think:

• Helping with a coastal restoration project in Portugal

• Supporting a food bank initiative in Montreal

• Joining a vineyard sustainability effort in Napa

• Participating in a school beautification day in a small European village

Whether your team wants to plant, paint, serve, or build — we help you leave a positive footprint wherever you go.

Where We Go

We now plan and operate company retreats in:

• The U.S. — From wine country escapes and desert wellness stays to national park adventures and big-city creative hubs

• Europe — Italy, France, Portugal, and beyond — think historic charm, local flavor, and immersive cultural moments

• Canada — From the Rockies to the coasts, our retreats embrace the beauty and soul of Canada’s landscapes and people

No matter where you go, you’ll enjoy full-service planning that covers:

• Unique accommodations and group lodging

• Private transportation and logistics

• Gourmet local meals and wine tastings

• Team-building workshops and leadership coaching

• Turnkey volunteer experiences

• 
  

What It Feels Like

This isn’t a stuffy hotel ballroom with trust falls and box lunches.

This is your team gathered around a bonfire after a day of helping restore a historic garden. It’s deep conversations over local wine. It’s belly laughs during an olive oil tasting. It’s the energy that comes when people feel seen, connected, and aligned in something bigger than themselves.

Who It’s For

• People & Culture leaders planning meaningful offsites

• Executives looking to align their team around shared values

• Startups & global brands craving reconnection

• Remote teams wanting a chance to truly feel like a team again

• 
  

Let’s Build Something Beautiful (and Impactful)

We believe retreats should do more than “get away.” They should help your people grow — individually and together.

Ready to plan your team’s next adventure? Let’s co-create a retreat that feels like your brand, your purpose, and your people — all in one unforgettable experience.
