Each morning starts with journaling and a yoga class in the breathtaking vineyard, followed by a hearty brunch, coffee, and teas. Enjoy some much-deserved R & R as you recharge your system, dive deeper into your healing in 1:1 sessions with your retreat guide, take a nap, or walk the sun-bathed vineyards on-premises.
Snacks such as fruit, artisanal cheese, and crackers are available throughout the day. Experience local wine tasting, an authentic tortilla cooking class, and end your day with dinner in the gorgeous Cava Dining Room, paired with wine from the Vineyard and live music. Evenings will end with yoga nidra, circles, and reflections around the fire.

Accommodations

Vinya Abril is a breathtaking, private, Catalonian vineyard, situated in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico.

Owners Josefina and Virgilio Muñoz carefully created the space in honor of life, freedom and the gathering of family and friends. The finest wines are produced in homage to Josefina’s father, José Antonio Alberich, Republican commander of Catalan militias in the Spanish Civil War who was exiled in Baja California after the fall of the Second Republic.

Walking the property you’ll find rows of fertile grape vines and olive trees in addition to stunning architecture. There are countless, thoughtfully created spaces throughout the property to sit, journal, relax, and gather in community with new friends.

Vinya Abril is a private venue open only to invited guests - we’re delighted to bring you the magic of this space.

Your Retreat Guide:

Why Valle de Guadalupe?

Denise's upbringing was deeply rooted in the serene landscapes of Mexico, particularly Tecate, where her grandparents' ranch stood as a haven. Filled with cherished memories of tending to the goats and chickens alongside her Abuelito, and relishing in heartfelt conversations over cafecito while perfecting the art of tortilla-making with her Abuelita, this region holds a special place in Denise's heart. Eager to impart the same nourishing experience to others, she eagerly anticipates sharing this enchanting land with all of you!
