Sipping wine beside the pool as the setting sun slowly sinks behind gently swaying trees, a gentle breeze delights your senses with the scent of the redwood trees…

…it’s the end of an incredible day spent experiencing renowned California wines, indulging in a delectable gourmet dinner, and spending time visiting farm animals at a sanctuary.

You laugh with new friends, sharing your excitement about ALL the tasty plant-based cheeses you sampled.

You take a deep breath, exhale, and tell yourself how proud you are for having made this investment in your self-care.

Looking out the expansive canopy of redwood trees, you feel complete, blissful, and grateful for this experience.

You can hardly believe that, at last, you’re here, surrounded by the breathtaking and iconic California landscapes.

I'm Karine, Your Hostess.

I’m Karine Lang and I’ve been living a plant-based lifestyle for over 18 years!

I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 7 years and feel so fortunate to have traveled all over California visiting over 100 wineries.

It’s safe to say that I have a passion for wine and all things related to plant-based foods.

I am an avid traveler with an extensive background in event planning, in addition to being a Plant-Based Chef.

I’ve always been the one in charge of planning the social activities and vacations with my friends and family - and I’m so excited to plan a memorable adventure for you.

As someone who has deadly food allergies on top of being plant-based, eating while traveling hasn’t always come easy.

But I have become an expert at it by doing my research, being prepared, and always having a plan B.

Exploring new cities and countries has been transformational for me, and I believe it is an amazing way to hit the reset button on life.

Travel is a great form of self-care, something that should be highly prioritized because let's face it, we can all get to a point where we are not taking enough time to just sit back and relax.

Life is so short, there is only one of you.

It’s time to put yourself first and come on a FUN adventure so you can decompress and come back refreshed.

I thrive on providing memorable and high-quality experiences for my guests and I can’t wait to meet you on this beautiful adventure!

If you'd like to chat more on the phone to see if it's a good fit, book a free no-obligation phone consultation.

Why California?

In California, you're in for a treat no matter where you go!

Here, on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, you'll enjoy endless stretches of sunny beaches and foggy coastlines, swaying palm trees, towering redwoods, and the vast fields of wineries as far as the eye can see.

It is known for its top-notch wines (which you will be sampling), locally grown organic produce, and breathtaking scenery - get ready to take amazing selfies!

California is truly a magical place and you’ll have no problems slowing down, unwinding, and reconnecting with yourself as you are taking in the whole experience.

We’ll be spending 4 fabulous nights in Santa Rosa, the largest city in Sonoma Wine Country.

The Flamingo Resort is a mid-century marvel in The Valley of the Moon.

The buildings, rendered with natural materials and iconic angular silhouettes, are the work of master architect Homer A. Rissman.

Set on a 10-acre campus, it is an incomparable property for both its city access and sense of complete retreat.

The newly redesigned rooms are designed to effortlessly blend the resort’s mid-century architecture with a fresh modern design, creating a sanctuary for you to relax and enjoy yourself.

The rooms feature oversized windows and reference the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s eras with a color palette that plays off soothing blush colors and bright teals, teak wood millwork, brass and gold finishes.
