Frequently asked questions

How do I get to and from the site of the retreat? Frequently asked questions

For each of our retreats, there are several options for how to get there. Please reference the GETTING THERE section on each retreat page. If you don’t find your answers there, feel free to reach out!

What is included in the room price?

Everything! Well, just about everything. Travel to and from the retreat city is not included, but we’ll come and pick you up from the nearest airport or train station (see the GETTING THERE section for each retreat). Any “extras” that you should decide to purchase will be on you - such as snacks or trinkets at the open air markets, that extra bottle of wine for the table at our lunch or dinners out, and any other shopping you choose to do. We will take care of your meals, drinks, and any planned experiences for the week - tastings, winery tours, workshops, etc.

*During some day trips, you’ll have the option of a packed lunch or eating in the city we are visiting on your own.

What if I want to stay longer?

If you’re like us, you might think that coming all the way to France, Ireland, or St. Lucia for just one week simply isn’t enough! Please reach out to us for suggestions or help planning your travel.

In France, we are delighted to partner with The French Travel , a locally owned and operated trip designer based in Paris. They are true experts who will help you perfectly plan your before and/or after Rêverie experience. Check them out if you plan to join us in France!

What about COVID-19?

We will follow whatever guidelines are in place for Covid in the region in 2024. If any retreat ends up being cancelled because of borders closing due to COVID or other national COVID regulations, you will be issued a full refund. This does not include individual cases of COVID that prevent travelers from coming. We recommend purchasing travel insurance to ensure coverage in the case of any last-minute hiccups on the traveler’s end.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancellations 180+ days out from the start date will receive a full refund minus a $300 service fee. Cancellations within 180 days from the start date will receive a refund 50% of the full cost. Cancellations within 60 days from the start date will not receive a refund. We highly recommend that you purchase travel insurance to cover any reimbursement for cancellations due to illness (including testing positive for COVID-19) or other family matters as we cannot guarantee a refund in these cases.

If any retreat does not reach the necessary number of attendees, we reserve the right to cancel a retreat - in this case, a full refund will be issued to any who have reserved.

What if a guest host cannot come?

If a guest host is unable to come to a retreat for which you have reserved, we will be in touch as soon as possible with options for you to cancel or maintain your reservation.

What level of cooking experience do I need?

All experience levels are welcome! Whether you’ve never cooked a meal on your own or you’ve started a cooking channel, we would love to have you along. We are accustomed to teaching all levels, and if you’re an avid cook perhaps you can teach us a thing or two!
