Yoga & Wine Retreat Days 2025, Saturday 14th June, Saturday 16th August

We are delighted to Maryann back to teach at our 'Yoga and Wine' retreat days. 

This concept links our newly planted vineyard, 'The Secret Vineyard’ with fitness, wellbeing, mindfulness, relaxation, delicious food, wine, and wine education! 

We have decided to start slightly later this year, in order to give people coming from further afield slightly longer to get here.
