mYak Retreat in Italy | Monferrato Region | September 28th – October 2nd, 2026

mYak Retreat in Italy | Monferrato Region | September 28th – October 2nd, 2026

We are absolutely thrilled to announce our special guest: the highly admired designer, Olga Putano! This will be her first time visiting and teaching in Italy, and we can’t wait to welcome her talent to the retreat.

Our retreat will take place in the Monferrato area, where you will experience the delightful fusion of Ligurian influences paired with the rich flavors of Piedmont.  The location is so special that it lends its name to the renowned wine, Gavi di Gavi.

We’ll take part in the traditional Vendemmia (grape harvest), one of the most cherished activities that brings Italian families together. Following the harvest, we’ll visit a local cellar to enjoy a private wine tasting experience.

Due to the strong Ligurian culinary influence in the area, we will also learn how to make the perfect focaccia. You’ll have the opportunity to knead the dough and discover all the secrets of classic Italian bread making.

Finally, we are busy preparing an emotional surprise that we can’t wait to unveil to you over the next few months!

Olga Putano will teach two amazing workshops that we can’t wait to reveal.
