FIRST MICE FOR MELON

Participants: 30 people
Dates: February 2–5
Location: Kakheti, Georgia



The Challenge:

To create a seamless team-bonding journey blending premium leisure, cultural immersion, and authentic gastronomy — all in the off-season. The task: combine business interaction, entertainment, and the true spirit of Georgia in one immersive experience — far from the city buzz.


What We Did:

 - Arrival & Welcome Zone
Smooth countryside transfers, scenic vineyard check-in, and an active welcome with mini golf, ping-pong, hookahs, and local snacks in a cozy indoor-outdoor setting.
 - Kick-Off Evening
An ice-breaking quiz party with a live DJ, interactive games, and networking moments around a curated Yandex Music playlist — setting the tone for connection and fun.
 - Georgian Immersion Day (entirely in Kakheti)
A full-day dive into the heart of Georgian culture:
 - Shumi Winery experience — tastings, storytelling, and wine secrets from local masters.
 - Culinary engagement — a hands-on masterclass with a local chef. Guests made their own khachapuri, baked shoti bread in a tone oven, and grilled traditional Georgian dishes over fire.
 - The “Meloniada” — Our Signature Game
We designed a custom team challenge game, blending logic, movement, local trivia, and creative tasks — all tied into Melon’s brand spirit. It sparked competition, laughter, and genuine bonding.
 - Team Battles
Board game tournaments, food & wine pairing challenges, and puzzle-style competitions gave everyone space to shine and collaborate in new formats.
 - Unwind Sessions
Every evening wrapped with warm firelight, Georgian wine, heartfelt conversations, and signature hookahs under the stars.



The Result:

A stronger, more connected team — united through shared memories, co-creation, and the richness of Georgian culture.

The result?
- Deep appreciation for local hospitality
- Recharged energy
- And a team ready to grow together — with hearts full and spirits high.
