Wine Story Retreats

The wine story idea was born long before we learned to walk and talk. It was passed down to us from our ancestors, gathering at the communal tables of their family rooms and in the shadow of the mulberry trees surrounded by family and friends, eating simple meals prepared over the open fire, drinking homemade wines, laughing at the silliness of life, and sharing stories their parents had told them before. Over the years, wine, for us, has become a symbol of friendship, authentic connections, wisdom, and passion for a life full of great memories and love. ​According to recent studies, about one-in-two adults in America reported experiencing loneliness. Loneliness and social isolation increase the risk of premature death by 26% and 29%, respectively, and are associated with an increased risk for anxiety, depression, and dementia.Wine Story Retreats was created to ignite social interaction, spark new emotional connections, and bring back the tradition of storytelling and communal gatherings centered around wine where people exchange ideas, learn from their peers, and enjoy life's simple pleasures. We invite you to join us on the picturesque Ionian Islands, famous for their lush green nature and wonderful beaches, with emerald waters and an exotic landscape; visit traditional villages untouched by time, taste the exquisite wines of the Ionian grape varieties originated from Homer's time, share a good laugh and contemplate the next chapter in your life.
