After an unforgettable inaugural Wine Camp in Texas Hill Country, we’re still buzzing from the laughter, connection, and incredible experiences we shared. From yoga sessions and winery tours to a hoedown in a genuine Old West town, every moment of Wine Camp 2024 was a blend of relaxation, fun, and friendship. Now, we’re looking forward to an even bigger adventure next year in Virginia with Wine Camp 2025.

Highlights from Wine Camp 2024

Our Texas Hill Country retreat was packed with unforgettable experiences:

• Morning Wellness: We started each day with yoga or water aerobics led by my amazing co-host, Robin Hackney.
• Winery Tours: Visits to local vineyards introduced us to standout wines like Arch Ray’s Sangiovese and Untamed’s Cabernet Franc Rosé, paired with gourmet pizzas.
• Hoedown Fun: Hosted at the Buggy Barn Museum, our evening featured Pistol Packin’ Paula’s performance, delicious food, and a spirited lip-sync contest.
• Unexpected Surprises: A surprise visit to a chocolatier was a delightful addition, with tastings of some of the best chocolates ever.

Throughout it all, the true magic was in the connections we built. As participant Helen Hyatt shared, "The best part was the people—new friends and old friends coming together."
