The Dream Big Darling “Paso Robles Micro-Retreat”

Are you ready to accelerate your career and step into your full potential?

We are looking for eight emerging leaders to join us for an intensive, high-impact 48-hour immersion in the heart of the Central Coast. From May 15th–17th, the Dream Big Darling "Paso Robles Micro-Retreat" offers a "behind-the-velvet-rope" look at the wine industry’s most successful operations, blending high-level technical education with strategic personal growth.

The Value

This experience is valued at $2,000 per person. However, through the support of our partners and our mission to develop talent, we are offering this opportunity for a $150 registration fee. Hour for hour, there is no higher-impact program available for those looking to expand their professional network and gain real-world insights that simply aren't taught in classrooms.

• Personal Growth: A dedicated CliftonStrengths workshop to identify and leverage your unique leadership edge.
• Unmatched Community: Forge lifelong bonds with a tribe of driven women while experiencing the energy of the Paso Robles Wine Festival.

The Details:
