Wine Retreats For Women Aged 50s+
are in the works!

Founder’s Note

When I started Amica Vina, a 50s+ offering was part of the vision; I just knew I needed to get the first retreats off the ground before adding on.

The current retreats are designed with millennial women (20s-40s) in mind, and since launching, I've had a wonderful amount of interest from women in their 50s+ (many of you asking whether there's something for your age group).

At its heart, Amica Vina is about bringing together like-minded women, not just for a beautiful week away, but to form the kind of friendships that last beyond the trip. A dedicated 50s+ retreat feels like the natural next step in doing that well.

Before launching the next retreat, I want to hear from you!

By filling in the Expression of Interest form below, you’ll be able to influence where and when we travel in 2027.

I hope to welcome you in France soon!

Cheers,
Samantha

Who the 50s+ Wine Retreats are for

This retreat is designed for women who want more than just a vacation; they want an experience that blends discovery, connection, and a touch of indulgence.


You’ll love this trip if you are:

  • A woman in her 50s or beyond, or in her 40s and looking to connect with a slightly older, more settled group, rather than travel built around a younger crowd.

  • A solo traveller who wants a welcoming, well-organised group to explore with, without having to navigate the logistics alone.

  • A wine lover, whether that means a glass with dinner or genuine curiosity about the region, no expertise required.

  • Someone who'd rather spend a week talking, laughing, and getting to know new people than sightseeing on your own.

  • Interested in seeing France without rushing between checklist sights, with room to actually enjoy where you are, even if the days themselves are full.

  • Ready for a trip that gives you space to enjoy yourself, without needing to organise a single detail.

Meet Your Host:

Samantha

In my 20s, I lived in Canada, France, the UK, and Australia; always eager to meet new people and discover new places. I built a career in advertising and dedicated my free time to travel; chasing experiences and collecting stories, including solo trips and visiting beautiful vineyards around the world.

Over time, my curiosity about wine grew. So much so that I now hold a WSET Level 3 qualification.

Though I’m grateful to have lived in different countries, moving around highlighted how challenging it can be to make new friends as an adult (and how many women feel the same).

These things together inspired me to create Amica Vina: curated wine retreats where women can travel together, explore beautiful wine regions, and build genuine connections that go beyond a single trip.

When you join an Amica Vina retreat, the hard work is already done; you just get to soak up the scenery, enjoy sharing wine, and meet inspiring women who may become lifelong friends.

I can’t wait to welcome you to Amica Vina in Paris.
