Eat, drink, and be merry: 3 great incentive destinations for foodies and oenophiles

CampaniaThe southern Italian region is one of the country's most beautiful - in a nation that hardly skimps on the stunning - with scenic delights, antiquities, orchards, ruins, and sun-drenched coves. While a trip to the area will allow you to treat delegates to an edifying trip through the ruins of Pompeii, the majesty of the Amalfi Coast, and the glitzy excess of Capri, a gourmand will be delighted by stopping off in Sorrento. Garlanded with bounteous gardens and luxurious orange and lemon trees, it's the ideal locale to tantalise the taste buds. Seafood so fresh it practically sweeps you out to sea, creamy limoncello-infused desserts, rich but simple homemade pasta dishes. Sorrento's gastronomic offerings embody the essence of Italian culinary mastery.As to the wine? 3000 years ago, in the heart of Campania, the Greeks planted Aglianico and Greco grapes. Now, that gorgeous terrain is the site of San Salvatore 1988, a luscious winery located in Cilento National Park.According to the wine experts at Decanter, the vineyard produces wines of 'great structure and elegance ... that preserve the memory of the terroirs they hail from, full of the oenological wealth that only these lands carry.'But these ancient lands don't mean San Salvatore 1988 hasn't adopted modern practices, and the winery is proud of its sustainable farming and innovative winemaking practices. The estate spans 70 hectares of lush vineyards, olive groves, and gardens. An oenophile's dream. Guests can enjoy guided tours of the vineyards, and learn about organic grape cultivation and the winemaking process. In addition to gorgeous wine tastings, there is also great cuisine, with dishes available that highlight local ingredients and traditional dishes. TokyoIt's a well-known fact that Tokyo has more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other destination in the world: you will not have any difficulty finding fooderies for your delegates to dine well here. It also benefits from being a dream destination for many: the type of locale people will work hard at the thought it may get them there. And it's a terrific city to travel through: efficient transportation systems, unprecedented hospitality, and safe surroundings. To stay - consider the Conrad Tokyo, a five-pearl hotel, near the lively Ginza shopping district and the convenient Shiodome subway station. It's deliciously luxe-y for your richly deserving delegates. And beyond simply dining, foodies will thrill to interactive experiences in Tokyo: say, a hands-on sushi-making session complemented by a sake-tasting experience, offering an insight into the intricacies of Japanese gastronomy. Or to a soy sauce factory: you'll never consider the salty sip the same once you've tasted the fermented bean fresh, at the source. We can't evangelise strongly enough about the street-food, too: almost any hole-in-the-wall restaurant will offer inexpensive, out-of-this-world yakitori, teppanyaki, okonomiyaki, tempura, soba, ramen, omakase, tonkatsu - it takes an act of will not to eat well in Tokyo. As to the wine? There's a plethora of fabulous wine and cocktail bars across the city. Make a beeline to no.501 in the Gaienmae district. Situated at street level next to Michelin-starred restaurant Florilege, the shop is marked by a small sign that reads, “kakuuchi,” the Japanese word for a hybrid bar and liquor store. The wine is out of this world. BavariaGeographically and metaphorically Germany's heart, Bavaria is a very special place, with a distinctly fairytale feel to it. The romantic, eye-popping castles of King Ludwig II, the deep dark forests, the alpine scenery with lakes and mountains. And then to contrast, the vibrant modern streets of Munich: it's the type of destination you can't help but swoon over. In Munich proper, sports enthusiasts will love a tour of the historic Olympic Stadium, a unique structure with an iconic roof, the architectural centrepiece of the Olympiapark since its opening in 1972. Dining at the restaurant there is unforgettable: you'll feast 181 metres above sea level. Delectable cuisine is served as you slowly rotate, allowing a 360-degree viewpoint of the City. Art lovers will adore the museums and opera houses. Put your team up at Eden Hotel Wolff, a traditional first-class hotel, one of Munich’s leading addresses since the 1890s, centrally located opposite the main railway station. Treat your delegates to a brewery tour, to discover the secrets of Bavarian beer-making. Take them bar-hopping in Munich (the nightclubs are superb), and munch on fortifying Bavarian cuisine at traditional beer gardens, such as classic pretzels and sausages.To offset the culinary and beer-y indulgence, take your group to the Bavarian Alps for hiking, skiing, and paragliding, then follow in the footsteps of the Wittelsbach dynasty by touring the region's castles - which inspired Walt Disney.
