12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Davenport, California
Only 15 Seats Available
A slow afternoon inspired by creativity, connection, beautiful food, and the simple pleasure of gathering together.
Join us for an intimate day retreat on a breathtaking private 10-acre property in Davenport, California. Surrounded by rolling hills, open skies, a beautiful koi pond, and a sparkling pool, we’ll spend the afternoon creating, relaxing, cooking, and sharing a meal together.
Inspired by the Italian philosophy of La Dolce Vita—the sweet life—La Dolce Giornata invites you to step away from the demands of everyday life and immerse yourself in a day designed to nourish the soul.
This is not a conference.
This is not a networking event.
This is a gathering.
A gathering of women coming together to create, learn, laugh, share a beautiful meal, and experience the joy of slowing down.
Designed for just 15 women, La Dolce Giornata is an invitation to savor life’s sweetest moments.
Your Day Includes
Welcome to the Property
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with refreshments and time to settle into the space.
Spend the first hour however you’d like:
• Enjoy a welcome beverage
• Walk the beautiful property
• Lounge by the pool
• Go for a swim
• Meet fellow guests
• Soak in the beauty of the California coast
This first hour is intentionally unstructured, allowing everyone to ease into the day and embrace a slower pace.
Guided Painting Experience with Sierra Evans
Local artist Sierra Evans will lead guests through a beautiful painting experience designed to inspire creativity and self-expression.
Whether you’re an experienced artist or have never picked up a paintbrush, Sierra will guide you step-by-step as you create your own artwork to take home.
This experience is less about perfection and more about creating something beautiful while spending time alongside an inspiring group of women.
Poolside Free Time
3:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Enjoy time to relax, connect, swim, explore the property, or simply soak in the beauty of the afternoon.
One of the gifts of La Dolce Giornata is having space to slow down without a packed schedule.
Pasta & The Art of Gathering
Beginning at 3:30 PM
As the afternoon transitions toward evening, we’ll gather around the table and begin preparing dinner together.
Using fresh garden ingredients, seasonal herbs, and ripe tomatoes, guests will learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch while sharing stories, laughter, and conversation.
This portion of the day is designed to celebrate one of the simplest joys in life—creating food with others and enjoying it together.
Long Table Dinner
As the pasta is prepared, we’ll begin setting the table for dinner.
Thoughtfully styled with Annieglass tableware and seasonal details, the table will be designed to celebrate the beauty of gathering.
Dinner will include:
• Italian-inspired seasonal salad
• Fresh bread
• Wine
• Handmade pasta created together during the class
• Garden-inspired ingredients and sauces
• Seasonal dessert
The meal is designed to feel less like a class and more like a celebration—an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of our labor while gathering around a beautiful table surrounded by new friends.
Thoughtful Surprises
Part of the magic of Redwood Social is found in the details.
Guests can expect thoughtfully curated touches throughout the day, including special gifts, surprises, and offerings from some of our favorite brand partners.
Additional details will be announced as the event approaches.

Transportation & Responsible Enjoyment
Part of La Dolce Giornata is slowing down, savoring good food, enjoying meaningful conversation, and sharing a glass of wine among friends.
Because the event takes place in Davenport and wine will be served throughout the afternoon and evening, we encourage all guests to plan transportation accordingly if they intend to consume alcohol.
To help make the day as seamless as possible, we are working to coordinate transportation options for attendees. We hope to provide a list of trusted local drivers who can assist with transportation to and from the event.
Additional transportation information and driver contacts will be shared with registered guests as they become available.
Our goal is simple: relax, enjoy the experience, connect with wonderful women, and arrive home safely.

Flowy dresses, linen sets, comfortable sandals, sun hats, and anything that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable.
If you’d like to enjoy the pool, please bring a swimsuit and towel.
