  • Day 1 — Abide

    Arrive, settle in, and meet your cohort. Over a simple shared meal, we open the journey by exploring what it means to abide — to slow down, to be present, and to begin noticing the invitations God is already offering.

    Day 2 — Tend

    Spend the day with a local vintner, discovering how vines grow, how they’re tended, and why pruning matters. Through guided reflections and a creative exercise, we explore how God tends to us with intention and care.

    Day 3 — Gather

    Step into hands‑on vineyard work to experience the patience and process behind fruitfulness. Later, enjoy a guided wine tasting and a communal dinner centered on the role of wine in Scripture — celebration, covenant, and the shared table.

    Day 4 — Go

    A slow morning to reflect and depart — carrying the practices, insights, and rootedness cultivated over the past days into the places you’re returning to.

Vine | Napa Valley - Oct 7-10, 2026

$2,500 $3,000

THIS FOUR‑DAY JOURNEY INVITES YOU TO STEP INSIDE JESUS’ WORDS, “I AM THE TRUE VINE,” THROUGH THE LAND, PEOPLE, AND PRACTICES THAT EMBODY THE METAPHOR. SET AMONG THE QUIET BEAUTY OF NAPA VALLEY, THE EXPERIENCE WEAVES SCRIPTURE, GUIDED REFLECTION, AND ENCOUNTERS WITH VINEYARD OWNERS AND WINEMAKERS WHO LIVE THE RHYTHMS OF VINE AND HARVEST EVERY DAY.

We begin around a slow, intentional table where story and expectation take root. In the days that follow, you’ll walk the vineyards with those who tend them, learning how pruning, abiding, cultivation, and fruitfulness reveal the character and care of God. Curated tastings, hands‑on elements, and conversations at the communal table open up the role of wine in biblical story — celebration, covenant, remembrance.

Afternoons offer unhurried space for rest, journaling, or wandering the valley at your own pace. Evenings draw us back together for shared meals and reflection that deepen formation. By the end, you won’t just understand the metaphor — you’ll have lived inside it. The vineyard becomes a teacher, the table becomes sacred ground, and the Spirit’s nearness is felt in the beauty of the land and depth of our immersion.
