Alisal Ranch, a 10,500-acre luxury dude ranch in California’s Santa Ynez Valley, is offering a new package this fall. “WILDWONDER” will be available from November 6-9, 2022, welcoming guests to embrace the spirit of the women of the Wild West, "who are unafraid to try something new and explore uncharted territory." The retreat will highlight women pioneers who tell their stories and share their skills with guests.
The all-inclusive retreat at Alisal Ranch comprises a multi-day itinerary with female artisans, chefs, winemakers, cowgirls and wellness leaders, among others. Guests can make new connections and participate in experiences that spark self-discovery and growth. They can enjoy Alisal Ranch’s signature “Breakfast Ride,” which takes guests through the hills of the property via horseback or hayride to a historic adobe where an al fresco, chef-prepared breakfast awaits.
The “WILDWONDER” experience includes: “Breakfast Ride & Brunch Demonstration” led by Waylynn Lucas (Food Network judge, cookbook author and cowgirl); “Cowgirl Campfire Under The Stars” with Joe Dickson (of Grit, Grace, Grow); “Intention-Setting Workshops, Guided Hikes, and a Yoga Class” led by Jill Thiry (founder of Club Change and Rancho La Puerta instructor); “Ranch-Inspired Charcuterie Board Making” with Katelyn Cattaneo (owner and founder of Cattaneo Brothers); “Private Trunk Show” with Jen’s Pirate Booty; “Hatband Workshop” with Jaime Haskell (owner of Lovely Bird); wine tasting with Brooke Carhartt (winemaker at Carhartt Family Wines); pizza making with Rachel Greenspan (owner of Bettina in Santa Barbara); dinner with Chef Suzanne Tracht (chef and owner of Los Angeles’ Jar restaurant); “Line Dancing”; “Best Coast Wine Tasting” with Caroline Juen (founder of Love & Loathing Los Angeles and Best Coast); and wine tasting with Sonja Magdevski (creator of Casa Dumetz)
Room bookings include western-themed accommodations, all meals, all non-alcoholic beverages and an extensive list of alcoholic beverages, one horseback ride, all scheduled “WILDWONDER” group event activities, an event swag bag, and a Lovely Bird hat with custom hat band.
