The Experience
Step Outside the Ordinary
Guided by wellness experts and featuring celebrated culinary professionals and local artisans, each day is anchored by experiences designed to celebrate everything Sonoma has to offer. Mornings begin with yoga, meditation, and breathwork. Midday brings a culinary experience—where seasonal ingredients and Sonoma’s landscape come together on the plate. The rest unfolds naturally through connection, exploration, and quiet moments of beauty. A one-of-a-kind Harvest Moon Sound Bath invites deep restoration, while a gift from Valmont Cosmetics offers something beautiful to carry home with you.
Savor the Season
Each midday gathering becomes a feast for the senses—freshly baked bread, creamy mozzarella stretched before your eyes, and local wines poured generously. You’ll meet local chefs and artisans, each one sharing their craft, their story, and their love of the land. These moments aren’t about indulgence for indulgence’s sake—they’re about presence. They’re about savoring what’s real, what’s right in front of you, and letting it nourish you from the inside out.
Harvest Moon Sound Bath
Under the glow of the Harvest Moon, you’ll be guided through a sound bath designed to soften the edges of your mind and reawaken your center. Vibrations fill the air, quiet your thoughts, and invite a deeper breath. As the energy shifts, you’ll feel something loosen—something settle, something different and more than relaxation. This is more than rest. It’s a chance to pause, reflect, and reset

Daily Rituals
Each day is anchored by movement, flavor, and connection.
Mornings begin with yoga, meditation, and mindful breathwork—designed to help you slow down and reconnect with your body. Rejuvenation isn’t just found on the mat—it’s in the stillness of a sunlit vineyard walk, the warmth of the hot tub beneath the stars, and the grounding quiet that comes with a glass of wine in hand.
Midday brings a culinary experience shaped by Sonoma’s harvest—where seasonal ingredients, chef-led meals, and thoughtful conversation come together on the plate.
Afternoons offer space to explore: wander the vineyards, join a candle-making workshop, stretch mozzarella by hand, or simply pause in the golden light.
Evenings are for exhaling—firelight, stargazing, and connection. And when the moon is full, we’ll gather for a one-of-a-kind sound bath to restore and release beneath the sky.
