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.

Why Apply?

This retreat is designed to be your professional "force multiplier," featuring:

• Direct Mentorship: Learn from industry icons and executives who have navigated the "hard way" so you can step over the obstacles they once faced.
• Strategic Development: Deep dives into brand reimagining, regional market positioning, and operational excellence at world-class estates.
• 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:

• Dates: May 15–17, 2026 (includes a virtual kickoff on May 11th).
• Investment: A $150 registration fee (required upon acceptance).
• What’s Included: Full curriculum and two nights of shared lodging (2 persons per room).
