Lisbon, 11 May 2011 – The top 30 sellers from an international insurance company attended an incentive weekend in Lisbon from 13-15 April.  The Lisbon office of AIM Group International organized the event.  The selected destination in Portugal was the beautiful World Culture Heritage landscape of Douro Valley. The venue was the emblematic CS Vintagehouse Hotel situated right over the Douro River in the little Village of Pinhão.  AIM Group International had to the objective to create a programme that was the perfect mixture of a professional meeting but relaxing and fun for the participants.

After a welcome cocktail with Lisbon’s traditional Porto Tonic, the group dined at the renowned Relais & Chateau Restaurant of the Hotel.   The weekend included a visit and lunch at the famous Wine Estate Quinta da Pacheca, the first winery in Douro bottling their own red and Port wine.  This gave the participants deeper insight into the winemaker’s tradition.  This followed by an adrenalin-inducing ride on the “Extreme” boat in Douro.  The Famous DOC Restaurant by renowned Chefe Rui Paula made the perfect venue for a delicious farewell dinner.

The last morning was leisure time for the participants but started with the highlight of the day, a “Zen Moment” with Yoga under palm trees in the hotel garden right before breakfast.  Definitely a weekend worth working for!
