Guild Knitting Retreats
updated 11/8/25
Note: Guild retreats are open to currently registered Guild members. Additional registration fees apply.
Have you ever wanted to do little else but knit with friends? Have you wanted to enjoy breakfast and then knit, savor lunch and knit some more, feast on dinner and knit knit knit? If you’ve said yes, then a Guild retreat is for you.
The Guild sponsors two retreats each year, one in January and one in August, at the Viña Lestonnac Retreat Center in the middle of the Temecula wine valley.
We go to a beautiful, quiet place where we knit, take walks, enjoy three flavorful meals each day, devour snacks to keep us going between meals, and share our days and evenings with long-time and new knitting friends.
Upcoming Retreats
Our next retreat is scheduled for January 19-22, 2026; more information here and at the link above.
As of 11/8/25: The winter retreat is officially sold out — everyone’s ready for some cozy adventures! But don’t worry — if you register online, we’ll add you to the waitlist and let you know the moment a spot opens up.
