A mountain retreat of yoga, foraging, crafted drinks & wild fermentation workshops
Wild brews & endless views
Hosted by us, guided by Jiggers and stretched by Zaza
Friday May first - Monday May fourth
2026
What to expect?
-
Forage it
The combined knowledge of trained herborist Olivier and Alpine residents of five years Luna and Wout, makes every venture outside a feast for the curious.
-
Yoga it
What better way to start a day engulfed in nature than with a yoga session? And what better way to end your day than a yoga session? Perhaps, yoga is the answer to everything!
-
Learn it
Life is a learning curve, some wise person once upon a time somewhere said. So why not continue, even when on holiday? Don’t worry, we’ll keep it fun. Ever wanted to learn the basics of fermentation? The start to sourdough bread? The theory behind kombucha? The benefits of making your own soap? Well, here we go!
-
Enjoy it
You’re still on holiday, let’s not forget! Right? Right! That’s why at the end (and start and also in the middle) of the day, we invite you to sit back, relax and let us take care of you with a vegetarian meal. Locally sourced, locally grown and organic, that’s our mantra.
-
Make it
No, we won’t interrogate your knowledge. But we can put it to the test, by making your own cocktails with whatever you foraged, under the expert eye and guidance of shaker Olivier.
-
Hike it
We mustn’t forget where we are! This all takes place in a beautifully hidden gem in the Italian Alps. Val di Togno. It would be a sin not to explore. That’s why we’ll take you on a guided day hike, where we’ll enjoy a picnic and a yoga session in what is perhaps the most beautiful setting for yoga ever?
Who are we?
-
This power couple is known for the creation of a pillar in Ghent hospitality, Jiggers. Olivier created one of the first cocktail bars that steered away from classical drinks, and dared experiment. Now, by buying a farm in Celles, they’ve ventured even further. How many cocktail bars do you know that grow their own produce? Apart from a talented photographer, Zaza is also a schooled yogi. Making our dream of hosting a yoga retreat with cocktails a reality.
-
We’re the hosts of this beautiful Rifugio, and have been welcoming guests here for over three years. It’s given us time to get to know the valley, its locals (animal as human alike), a knowledge of foraging and farming which we deeply cherish. By inviting Zaza and Olivier, we wanted to try something new. Let’s go!
What’s the intinerary?
DAY 1
Friday 01-05
-
You make your way from wherever you are to us!
-
At the airport in Milan our chauffeurs will be waiting for you. Watch out, the ride is long. So if you need snacks, do so before getting in!
-
Welcome! Finally! We have a drink and a light-late-lunch ready, also a welcome speech which we will try to keep short. Time to get settled into your rooms and get ready for the first yoga of the weekend!
-
After a little forage, you will have collected your own stuff to make a cocktail. Don’t worry. Olivier is here to guide and teach you!
DAY 3
Sunday 03-05
-
Today, we hike! So let’s have a good breakfast, strap on those hiking boots, and let’s go!
-
A picnic in the beautiful alpine meadow higher up the valley, followed by a meditation session from Zaza. Perfection.
-
Once back, it’s up to you if you want to relax, sit back and read, or whether you want to go for a cold plunge, or whether you want to pick Olivier’s brain about more fermentation tricks!
-
After a nice dinner, it’s time to sit back and relax. And maybe, if the weather is our friend, we can have a campfire and enjoy the stars.
DAY 4
Monday 04-05
-
Yoga, what else? Followed by a little cold plunge before we have a brunch.
-
After brunch there’s time to walk down to the chauffeurs or to wait for us to take you.
-
You’re on your way back home.
-
We already miss you!
DAY 2
Saturday 02-05
-
Good morning! After a yoga to start the day, we can sit down for breakfast, and then really start the day. We’ll take you on a walk around and a little intro to foraging. Hopefully you can find something for lunch! (Joke, we have a back-up).
-
After a lunch, we’ll start with a few workshops. Soapmaking, kombucha, sourdough, you name it.
-
Time for some workshops! Whether it’s fermentation, sourdough, kombucha or soap, it’s up to you! We’ll have a solid intinerary closer to date.
-
Another yoga before the cocktail making workshop begins. After, just sit back, enjoy the meal and eachothers company.

The prices include all meals, beverages and transportation to and from the airport. And of course all activities.
All beds as seen in the photos, can be divided into 2 singles (except for the bed in the Studio).
Every room has it’s own bathroom.
Get in touch for the price if you want a private room.
* The studio only has a divant lit, meaning it can’t be separated into 2 single beds. Ideal for 2 friends or a couple, perhaps not so for strangers.
** The East Room sleeps four people. Two of them in a bunk bed. Therefore this is the most economic room, and the most economic price preserved for those sleeping in the bunkbed.
