Yoga Practices
At the Wine Garden Inn, our yoga offerings are designed to nourish both the body and the soul. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner, our expert instructors guide you through a journey of self-discovery and renewal.
Restorative Yoga

As you settle into a series of supported poses, your mind and body will gradually unwind, releasing tension and cultivating a profound sense of inner peace.
Vinyasas
Transition into a Vinyasa flow that seamlessly links breath and movement. Our experienced teachers will lead you through a dynamic sequence, inviting you to explore the expressive qualities of your body as you synchronize each pose with your natural breath. This hatha vinyasa style blends the stability of Hatha Yoga with the fluidity of Vinyasa, creating a well-rounded practice that invigorates and rejuvenates.
Hatha Yoga
Throughout your stay, you’ll also have the opportunity to delve into the tranquil practice of Hatha Yoga. This meditative approach emphasizes the sustained holding of poses, allowing you to cultivate a deeper awareness of your physical, mental, and emotional states. As you move with intention and focus, you’ll find yourself sinking into a state of profound calm and clarity.
Wine Tasting Experiences
Complementing your yoga journey, the Wine Garden Inn offers a mindful approach to wine tasting, inviting you to engage all your senses and truly savor the terroir of our estate-grown vintages.
Wine Varietals
