Spring
Wild Harvest Walk
April 18 – 20 · Eight guests
Following the spring greens — nettle, cleavers, violet, hawthorn — and learning to bring them home.
Workshops · Events · Gatherings
One season at a time.
Four times a year, Montestal opens for a small group. The work follows the plants and the weather more than any rigid schedule — but here, roughly, is the year ahead.
Summer
Salve & Balm Intensive
July 11 – 14 · Six guests
Four days at the stillroom hearth, infusing oils and crafting a small apothecary kit.
Autumn
Hearth Distillation
October 3 – 6 · Six guests
Equinox days at the copper still — rosemary, lavender, and the last of the late-summer aromatics.
Winter
Quiet Days
December 27 – 30 · Eight guests
A retreat without instruction. Long fires, short walks, soup, sleep, and a stillroom to wander into.
Private gatherings
We also host small private circles.
Eight guests or fewer, shaped to your group — birthdays, sabbaticals, quiet weeks among friends. Write and tell us what you're imagining.
