Workouts + Wine Tasting

Sonoma County Fitness & Wine Retreat with Amanda Butler

August 11-14, 2016

Workouts + Wine Tasting

Join us in a stunning private villa for 4 days of working out, tasting local wines, enjoying fresh meals, and experiencing all of the natural beauties and adventures of Sonoma County. Plus, celebrate Coach Amanda's birthday in Sonoma style!

The fitness:

Let's be real - we're in WINE country! That said, we love to work out (and earn those delicious calories), so Coach Amanda will be leading two unique workouts per day. Mornings will be reserved for the real deal - HIIT, strength, and/or cardio on the beautiful villa grounds. The second workout of the day will be restorative and yoga-based and could take place at the villa, at a vineyard, or in a local park.

The retreat:
​We're staying at two private houses in Sonoma County, each complete with a pool, beautifully manicured grounds, plenty of games, and a well-equipped kitchen. There will be a Coach or Ketanga representative at each house which are 10-15 minutes apart, and the group will be all together for activities and retreat programming.

Each day will have a different activity to make the most of being in this treasured part of the country, such as biking around the Sonoma vineyards, hiking local trails, stand-up paddle boarding (optional), and did we mention wine tasting?

Testimonials from Amanda's past fitness retreat with Ketanga

"I'm crazy about Amanda. She brings amazing energy, enthusiasm, creativity, kindness and humor to her classes. I loved how in tune she was with everyone and how she adjusted her workouts to suit the overall energy of the crew." - Teresa G.

"This trip was fantastic. From morning to night everything was planned out. The workouts were just hard enough to make you energized in the morning and low key at night after a long day of activities. I was nervous going alone but everyone on the trip was super friendly and made me feel comfortable."
- Amanda G.

"We had an amazing time. The workouts were perfect, the excursions, accomodations, meals and the balance of activity and rest were great. I have already told friends that they should go. We will definitely be back." - Rob M. & Katrina R.


Sample itinerary


Thursday, August 11:
Welcome to Wine Country! We'll kick things off with an afternoon workout at the Madrone Estate Winery overlooking the vineyard. After class, we'll be treated to a private wine tasting and then head to our private villas to shower up and settle in. In the evening we'll get to know each other at a fun, casual BBQ while playing a friendly game of pool or ping pong.


Friday, August 12:
After a good night's sleep, enjoy a light breakfast at the house followed by a workout in nearby Larson Park. You will have some free time to relax by the pool, venture to a vineyard, or explore the town of Sonoma. We will meet back up in the afternoon for a bike ride through Sonoma with a pit stop & private tasting at Bartholomew Winery. Join the group for dinner in Glen Ellen or go off on your own to explore the area.


Saturday, August 13:
This morning will start with an outdoor workout and maybe a light jog. We'll enjoy some free time to explore the town of Glen Ellen or go for a swim, and then we'll spend the afternoon on a light to moderate hike in Jack London State Park with a yoga and stretching class at the end. At night, we'll indulge in a professionally catered dinner while kicking back and enjoying each other's company.


Sunday, August 14:
On our final morning, we'll have a light bite while packing up our suitcases and enjoying one last dip in the pool. We'll swing by Viansa Vineyard for a late-morning yoga class, farewell toast, and lunch, then we have the option to go stand-up paddle boarding or continue along to the airport and say our goodbyes & see-you-soons!
