Italy: Lake Maggiore

Managed by the Rossi Cairo family since 2002, Laraia is a sprawling estate that covers over 180 acres and has 50 acres dedicated to natural vineyards. This is due to the winemaking nature of this region, thanks to a unique microclimate, all of which is yours to enjoy when you arrive.

The DMC Collective’s local event experts have worked with Laraia to host a number of team-building experiences and professional corporate events over the years in their onsite farming hamlet, Borgo Merlassino. It’s a wonderful setting for small business gatherings and B2B events, surrounded by peaceful woodlands, and offers prime access to the nearby lake in case you’d like a dip during your downtime.

Laraia has an abundance of travel incentives that give you insight into the inner workings of the estate while rewarding your delegates. Enjoy guided wine tours through the cellars and sample the finest biodynamic wines that hail from this region in northern Italy. As the hunger sets in, you can take part in cooking classes with some talented local chefs who will teach you how to make the finest regional recipes. Before you depart, don’t forget to try the Art Itinerary to see the fabulous works of the great Fondazione La Raia. If the season permits, you may even get to head off on a truffle hunt with a local farmer.

A spectacular venue like Laraia is your gateway to an untouched part of Italy that doesn’t get as many tourism numbers as nearby cities such as Milan.
