Guild Knitting Retreats
updated 8/28/24
Note: Guild retreats are open to currently registered Guild members.
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 nights with long-time and new knitting friends.
