Slow Travel Retreats In Italy

Where Food, Connection & Culture Come Alive.

2026 Retreats

Savour the moment.
Season the soul.

Our retreats invite you to immerse yourself in the essence of Italy-from its rich culinary traditions to its vibrant local communities and breathtaking landscapes.

Whether you’re savouring farm-to-table feasts under the stars, strolling through historic markets, or discovering hidden corners of Rome, Umbria, or beyond, every moment is an opportunity to connect-with yourself, with others, and with the beauty that surrounds you.

Join us on a journey of food, culture, and community, where every season brings something new to savour.

Meet Grace, your host.

Born in London, raised in Australia, and now a girl mum living between Italy and Australia, I’ve always been drawn to the ways food and travel bring people together. After years in airlines,fine dining and interior design, I realised my true passion lies in connection around the table, in culture, and through shared experiences.

Pressing pause on my corporate career, I’ve embraced a slower, more intentional way of living. Seasons to Gather is an extension of that dream with intimate retreats shaped by food, wine, tradition, and the joy of slowing down. Together, we’ll savour Italy season by season, from long tables under olive trees to truffle hunts in the hills, creating memories that nourish both heart and plate.
