Escapes worth the out-of-office
Retreats by Stay n' Sip
For nearly a decade, we've created the Hunter Valley's most-loved wine and cheese experiences, more than 1,000 five-star reviews from guests who came for a tasting and left with a story. Now we're going further: immersive, thoughtfully hosted retreats on private estates in wine country and beyond.
Each retreat is different. A themed escape for readers. A deep dive for wine lovers. What they share is what we've always done best, generous hosting, long tables, and the feeling of being looked after from the moment you arrive.

How We Host
Everything included. Accommodation, every meal, every experience. You arrive; we've done the rest.
Small by design. Every retreat is capped so it feels like a house party among friends, never a conference.
Hosted, properly. A decade of hospitality in every detail, from the glass in your hand at check-in to the gift on your pillow.
Be First to Know
Retreats are small and tend to fill from this list before they're announced anywhere else. Tell us what you're interested in and you'll hear first, every time.
