Christ Church Bishop's Ranch Retreat
June 7-9 2019
Register by Easter to get the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL!
Enjoy a relaxing weekend (June 7-9, 2019) with Christ Church at the Bishop's Ranch near Healdsburg and the Dry Creek Valley wine region. Whether you are old or young, alone or with friends & family, you can have a great time.
The registration price includes lodging, meals and activities (Friday night dinner is on your own).
Enjoy peaceful grounds, or participate in activities that include wine tasting, swimming, hiking, spiritual enrichment, music for all ages, happy hour reception, snacks, hot chocolate and s'mores. Have fun in the big pool playing sharks & minnows.
The final agenda is to be determined, but it is roughly:
Friday Afternoon/Evening
- Arrive afternoon or evening - note the traffic gets very busy on 101 around Petaluma at rush hour, so you may want to take the day off and come up via the coast or Sonoma wine country, or take half a day off (leave by 1:00 p.m.) and get through San Francisco and Marin County before the traffic slows (according to Google Maps if you leave Portola Valley at 2 pm the travel time can vary from 2 hours 20 minutes without traffic, to almost 4 hours with traffic - which if you stop means that it could take as long as 5 hours).
