Tired of waiting for the girls' trip to make it out of the group chat?

With the world becoming more digital, there is a deeper craving for human connection and in-person experiences.

It can be challenging to make friends as an adult, and it can be even more challenging to find friends to travel with.

At Amica Vina, we thought, what bonds women together more than a girls' trip … and a glass or two of wine?

That’s why we curated group retreats for female travellers to explore wine regions of the world, starting with France.

Picture yourself savouring bold reds in Bordeaux, sipping rosés in Provence, or toasting with bubbles in Champagne.

With Amica Vina, you’ll discover breathtaking destinations, taste and learn about incredible wines, and most importantly, build lasting friendships with like-minded women.

You may join solo, but you’ll never feel alone.

So, what are you waiting for? Don’t let your dream trip stay stuck in the group chat.

Join the waitlist below and raise a glass to new adventures, new friends, and memories you’ll treasure forever.

About the Founder

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 chasing experiences and collecting stories, including visiting beautiful vineyards around the world.

Over time, my curiosity about wine grew. So much so, that I recently completed WSET Level 2 with distinction, with plans to tackle Level 3 soon.

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 Spring 2026.

Cheers,
Samantha
