SACRED SONOMA MOUNTAIN The centerpiece of the weekend is an immersive yoga and wine experience on sacred native land amidst the redwoods and natural artesian springs of Sonoma Mountain. The Van der Kamp family has deep roots in Sonoma and represent one of the last remaining families of true grower-producers in region, farming and making wine from this land where they live and are the stewards of its sacred history. Our group has been granted private access to the estate where we will practice yoga alongside some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the region, tour the organic vineyard and farm, meet the family and enjoy a farm-to-table picnic pairing lunch among the vines and ancient redwoods. Optional activities through the day include swimming, hiking, meditation and off-roading. This very special place is a miracle to behold not open to the public.
Capacity is limited to 12 spots. Available package options below.
