Dining In The Dark

A dramatic environment helps make training memorable!

Close your eyes and imagine an incredible, gourmet meal and one of a kind dining experience. Now keep your eyes closed. Dining in the Dark takes a standard group meal to a whole new level... a dramatic dining adventure if you dare!

Dining in the Dark is one of the highest rated programs we offer. So if you’re a little adventurous and willing to step out of the ordinary to experience the extraordinary, watch the video below and see if Dining in the Dark is right for you!

“Many thanks for the great Dining in the Dark event at our offsite meeting! The meal was delicious and it was a great new experience, and provided us a fun way to consider new ways to approach challenges to drive innovation. We appreciate the planning and support throughout to pull this off successfully!”

In this fun program you will:

• Foster trust
• Energize your people
• Experience a new adventure
• Open up your senses
• Have an unforgettable meal
• Give your staff an inspiring experience
• Awaken a passion for life

The concept of dining in the dark originated in Europe and since then has traveled the world from restaurants in Asia, Los Angeles, Toronto and beyond. It takes a potentially boring group meal to a whole new level ....an exploration in dining!

How the program works

During this pitch black culinary adventure you’ll discover a feast for your senses. This program can be delivered in a number of different environments, venues or locations. We can deliver this program at ANY meal, and can accommodate any type of diet.

Participants will have the opportunity to interact with each other and share what they are experiencing as they try something that is truly unique. This two hour experience provides an entertaining eating experience, it also distinguishes how to recreate extraordinary experiences in the future.

During the meal, the host engages your group and people offer their theories on what they are tasting. Some try to be civilized, others simply use their hands to seek out new food on their plates – after all, no one is looking! Sharing with each other exactly what they are experiencing in the moment as they dine adds to the sense of occasion.

Once the dessert course has been enjoyed, a single candle is lit in the center of the room. It is surprisingly bright and eyes are shielded. Candles are then lit at each table as people inspect the remains of their meal. Exclamations of surprise echo through the room as people look at each other and view the contents of their plates.

An untouched serving is brought into the room for people to examine. They crowd around and point at the things they had previously identified (rightly or wrongly!)

In the warm aftermath, tea and or coffee are served and the facilitator/host concludes the dining event with another discussion about how to create extraordinary experiences in both your business and your personal life.

Your investment includes:

• Full-service all-inclusive training program
• Complete pre-program communication including liaising with venue (we can help you source many hotels, resorts and venues in Vancouver)
• Day of program organization and coordination
• On-site professional Facilitator and friendly Event Hosts (necessity of hosts dependant on activity choice, location and group size)
• All materials, equipment and props for program activities
• Post-event review and summary of lessons and concepts
• Delivery, set up, management and break down of program

The price we quote you is the price you pay. We include any related travel and miscellaneous costs in our quote so you can feel confident your budget will be met for the program.

How much do your Vancouver training and development programs cost?

When you work with as many companies in Vancouver and across Canada as we do, you come to understand that budgets come in all sizes. We've priced our programs to make them accessible to companies of all sizes, from Fortune 500 giants to small start-ups.

Programs for smaller groups start at $3500, with the investment level rising as your group size increases. Typically, the investment level works out to $125-$200 per person for one of our programs. Many of our customers are booking a sequence of programs to fit into their curriculum (2 in one day, or various programs over a series of dates), with savings resulting on the per program investment level.

Keep in mind that for really large groups with tight budgets, we're fantastic at coming up with a solution that will work for everyone and be a great fit for your curriculum.

If your budget is smaller than what's indicated above, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your situation. We may already be running a program near you, and may be able to economize to make it work for both of us.
