Top Corporate Retreat Activities in Nashville

Some Retreat Activities to Consider in Nashville

Nashville is the perfect location to strengthen team bonds and boost morale on a company retreat. The city's rich musical heritage provides a dynamic backdrop for team activities, from songwriting workshops to group line-dancing lessons at iconic venues. Its diverse culinary scene offers opportunities for team cooking challenges or BBQ sauce-making sessions, fostering creativity and camaraderie. Your team is sure to have a good ole time!

Bourbon Tasting & Distillery Tour

The tour will take you through the past, present and future of a many storied distillery. It starts with a compelling overview of its history, followed by a walk-through of the production floor, sharing the processes that go into making each product. The journey concludes in the charmingly rustic tasting room, where you can sample a variety of their renowned bourbons and beers. Cheers to that!

BBQ Sauce Workshop & Line Dancing

Get ready for an afternoon that will have you up on your feet, tapping, stomping, and grooving to the rhythm! The group will head over to the Wildhorse Saloon, where they'll craft their own BBQ sauce under the expert guidance of the Head Grillmaster. Afterward, the group will make their way to the main floor for a lively hoedown. Nashville's most twangy boot-tapping dance, the two-step, is making a comeback, and you'll be ready with these line-dancing lessons. 

Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

A trip to Nashville isn't complete without exploring the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum! Often called the "Smithsonian of country music" due to its unmatched collection, this iconic Southern landmark is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the rich history and traditions of country music as they continue to evolve.

Top Tips for a Company Retreat in Nashville

Expert Advice for a Retreat in Nashville

  1. Go off the strip: Spend an evening exploring the famous Broadway’s honky-tonks, but also check out lesser-known spots for bluegrass or local singer-songwriters.
  2. Best time to visit: Spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) are ideal times to visit Nashville without the summer heat. 
  3. Check the city’s event calendar: Avoid dates during major events like the CMA Music Festival or NFL games.
  4. Plan to dine around: There are many neat and delicious restaurants for your team to experience by visiting in smaller groups. 
  5. Balance work and leisure: Ensure the schedule includes downtime so your team can explore Nashville or unwind.

Any Other Considerations for an Offsite in Nashville

While Nashville is generally a safe city for tourists, it's important to stay aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas like Broadway. Additionally, summer temperatures in the city can get quite high, so stay hydrated and wear sunscreen if you're spending time outdoors.

Keswick, ON

Amanda brings her keen eye for travel and event planning to our Operations Team, bolstered by over a decade of experience managing events for the Toronto Film Festival and other swanky clientele across Canada (she's fancy like that).

Her passion for creating memorable experiences (particularly around a great meal) makes her the perfect fit as an Operations Manager, planning awe-inspiring events for our clients.

In her spare time, Amanda loves exploring the great outdoors either on the road with the sunroof down, or on the ATV trails near her hometown of Keswick, Ontario. Indoors, she's known for being a bit of a 'sushi savant', and kicking back on the couch with the latest Reality TV with her dog, Rebel.

Canmore, AB

Our resident "Mountain Man", if there's a job in the wild, chances are Andrew's had it. Ski Patrol? Check. Whitewater Kayak Instructor? Check. Spartan Race Medic? Somehow, even that too.  To say he's big on the great outdoors (and every Canadian cliche) is an understatement. Andrew lives, breathes, and (literally) eats the wilderness.

Andrew joins the Moniker team from his home within the Rocky Mountains, in Canmore, AB, leading the Trip Planning & Operations team where he brings his talents to coordinating gobs of detail and data into seamless execution of our retreats. He's also a licensed Medic which comes in handy when our guests have a little too much fun on destination!
