Wine Down Retreat is an intimate, restorative wine experience designed to slow down, relax, enjoy — no packed agendas, no overcrowded towns. Spring in Umbria brings soft light, fresh vineyards, and perfect temperatures for outdoor lunches and walks.
Set in a lakeview resort and spa in the Umbrian countryside, this five-night retreat invites you to unplug from urgency and reconnect with rhythm through intentional wine experiences, private winemaker visits, gentle meditation, and unstructured time to simply be.
Just wine, good food, lakeviews, and peace.
UNIQUE WINETASTINGS
As a sommelier based in Umbria I will show you my favorite local, family owned small wineries where we will have wine pairing lunches, slow down, savor wine, good food and meaningufl conversations….
NATURE AND STILLNESS
We share a whole villa in the heart of Umbria with incredible lake views. The perfect place to relax, reconnect and enjoy a massage, a sauna or simply a glass of wine enjoying the sunset on the lake.
No alarms. No rushing. No packed schedules.
Late mornings. Open afternoons. Spacious days.
RESTORATIVE PRACTICES
Every morning you have the option of a lakeview slow breakfast followed by an optional yoga, gentle meditation and breathwork, or spa circuit
