Some stories are meant to be lived.
Our retreats take the passions at the heart of Hoffman Media’s brands beyond the page and into the world.
Travel alongside our editors and a small group of fellow readers for thoughtfully curated experiences built around food, baking, tea, culture, gardens, history, and the art of living well. From hands-on workshops with masters of their craft to private tours, memorable meals, and places we’ve long dreamed of sharing with our readers, each itinerary offers a deeper way to experience the things that bring our communities together.

Small groups, real access.
01
Travel with our editors
The people who make the magazines come along — and bring the relationships that open doors.
02
Kept intentionally small
Group sizes stay small enough that a private tour stays private and a workshop stays hands-on.
03
Details handled
Lodging, meals, transfers, and reservations are arranged before you arrive, with room left unscheduled on purpose.
New retreats are announced to this list first.
Most of our retreats fill from the waiting list before they are ever advertised. Tell us what you’d like to travel for and we’ll write to you when it opens.
