WILDWONDER™

We are excited to announce the fourth WILDWONDER™ retreat at Alisal Ranch and invite you to join us from Sunday, October 6 through Wednesday, October 9 as we cultivate our own Wild West community with a collection of inspiring women. For three nights, we celebrate the modern woman by learning from leading lady pioneers who tell their stories and share their skills with our guests through classes, demos, and more.

WILDWONDER™ features female artisans, chefs, winemakers, cowgirls, wellness leaders, and other fearless women. This Fall, we will welcome back Jeanne Kelley  for a demo followed by a fabulous meal with recipes from her cookbook Vegetarian Salad for Dinner. Every guest will get their own Lovely Bird hat and make their own custom hat band. You’ll take home a WILDWONDER™ swag bag including guest chef cookbooks and more goodies. Stay tuned for the full itinerary lineup to be announced soon!

Shop, cook, and share stories with other women amidst the foothills of the Santa Ynez mountains.
