Searching for team building events nearby that your entire team will really enjoy? Look no further than a StrEATs of Philly Food Tour with Chef Jaquie. This walking food tour will take you and your team on a culinary adventure through Philadelphia’s iconic Italian Market. Chef Jacquie’s Italian Market Food Tours brings teams together by visiting multiple restaurants and gourmet food shops while enjoying authentic food and rich history.
Unlike many team offsite outings that can feel forced or uncomfortable, our food tours are a fun and lively opportunity to bring your team closer together. There’s no pressure to “perform” or compete – just genuine connections. Your team will bond over authentic Italian drinks and foods like roast pork sandwiches, artisanal cheese tastings, house-made cannoli, and the best pizza in Philadelphia. You’ll also meander through specialty shops brimming with imported goods. Between bites, Chef Jacquie shares captivating stories about the Italian immigrants who built this market, the generations of families who’ve kept traditions alive, and the evolution of South Philly’s vibrant food culture.
Food has a way of breaking down barriers. When your team is sharing amazing meals, laughing, and learning together, conversations flow naturally. The short walks between each location provide new opportunities for your team to connect.
When planning offsite team building activities, there are many factors to consider: will it appeal to everyone on the team, will it be memorable, and will it bring my team closer together? Our food tours are active enough to be engaging, relaxed enough for genuine conversation, and structured enough that everyone stays together as one group. The walking pace is comfortable, the atmosphere is informal, and the food portions are generous. You’ll leave with full stomachs, new knowledge, and genuine connections – both with your teammates and with Philadelphia’s rich cultural heritage.
For a fun Philadelphia team building or a unique corporate event, Chef Jacquie’s Italian Market tour offers a memorable experience your team will talk about for months. It’s perfect for groups of all sizes, from small departments to large corporate outings.
