The Culinary Institute LeNôtre offers Team Building programs for corporations and businesses who seek avenues for professional development for their executives and associates. A typical Team Building usually runs for 3-4 hours in the early evening and includes group interaction and discussion, hands-on cooking and/or baking class, and a seated dinner with wine. The theme and menu of a Team Building are tailored to fit the customer's specific needs.

Team Building can also be converted to a birthday party, anniversary celebration or family reunions.

A minimum of 16 guests is required, and payment must accompany each reservation.
