Welcome to Sip + Savor Retreats: where “someday” trips become booked ones.
Join us on a Sip + Savor Summer Camp retreat, or a private culinary adventure curated especially for those who enjoy great food and wine!
I’ve been planning unforgettable trips since I was a teenager working in my mother’s travel agency, and in the summer of 2024, sitting on a hilltop at Lange Estate Winery with Mt. Hood on the horizon and a glass of Pinot Noir in hand, I finally gave that lifelong passion a name. Sip + Savor Retreats is my culinary travel company, born in Oregon wine country and built on the Go Epicurista motto: Make Someday Happen.
As an Oregon native and culinary travel writer, I curate small-group retreats that combine world-class wine, farm-to-table food, wellness, and genuine connection, all with the insider VIP treatment only a local can deliver. Some retreats are just for women, like our flagship Sip + Savor Summer Camp Women’s Retreat. Others are designed for couples and private groups. The Willamette Valley is our first destination, with Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley and more of the world’s great wine regions on the way.
Find your retreat below, and let’s “Make Someday Happen”, one delicious bite, sip, and trip at a time.
