We’re bringing the world’s top luxury hotels and resorts to you—with three fabulous events in San Diego, Newport Beach, and Santa Monica.

Mingle face to face with dreamy destinations while indulging in amazing bites and drinks, premium gifting, and a fantastic silent auction. It’s the perfect mix of business and pleasure—because great ideas (and partnerships!) start over great food. Come hungry for inspiration…and dessert. ;)

Each event promises intentional networking and personal connections within our B2B Marketplace, where you’ll engage and discover those destination partners you’ve been looking for, followed by a delicious lunch and serious fun. Meet with our partners and go home with gifts from Barrington Gifts, Global Gifting and Maui Jim. Plus, participate in our silent auction to win travel packages and more - all proceeds benefit Wine to Water.

“I’ve been to many tradeshows in a variety of formats and Retreats Resources is by far the best regional show I attend each year. Their unique format allows me to truly engage with the hoteliers I need to meet with. The experience is unparalleled and I know I’ll learn about new and exciting destinations every time I attend.”
