Groups, Incentives & Travel Trade
Curated Bergen for Groups
Whether you are planning an incentive trip, hosting international visitors, arranging a conference programme, or looking for a trusted local partner in Bergen, Pievino creates memorable experiences tailored to your guests.
With a background in hospitality, events, food and wine, I help visitors experience Bergen beyond the guidebooks – through culture, gastronomy, nature and meaningful local encounters.
From intimate executive groups to larger incentive programmes, experiences can be combined into half-day, full-day or multi-day itineraries.
For Incentive Groups, Conferences & Corporate Events
Bergen offers far more than traditional sightseeing.
I work with companies, institutions, conference organisers and destination management companies to create engaging experiences that combine local culture, food, history and nature.
Whether you are welcoming international colleagues, entertaining clients, hosting conference delegates or rewarding employees, I can help create experiences that feel authentic, personal and memorable.
Suitable for:

Conference social programmes
Executive groups
Client entertainment

Leadership retreats
