Spring 2026 Sourdough Baking Retreat
Step away from your daily routine and treat yourself to a 4-day, 3-night luxury baking getaway, where every dish served—including dessert—celebrates sourdough in a creative way. You’ll grow your skills through four interactive classes led by a fun, detail-oriented instructor, Lo’s Kitchen! And, as a special bonus, Sophie Sadler from Dirndl Kitchen will teach her signature authentic German pretzel-making class.
If this is you, we invite you to join us in gorgeous Southern California this April!
