We hosted our first wellness retreat in the dome on Sunday 2nd Feb. Kath from Headingly Pilates created a fantastic itinerary for her guests which included Pilates sessions, lunch from our cafe, a swim in the bay followed by a sauna then hot drinks and cakes back at the gin school.
They were a fantastic bunch, many of whom had travelled from mid-argyll, and they were all raving about the day afterwards. For some it was a first visit to our distillery complex but they all absolutely loved it.
Emma, one of our directors, joined them for a wild swim in the bay which was a wonderful experience especially as a pod of dolphins swam past just as the group was practicing mindful breathing. Obviously the mindful breathing went to pot as everyone shrieked excitedly and paused to watch the magnificent creatures diving and leapling as if it had all been arranged by design!
The sauna was a fantastic bonus after the chilly dip and coffees and cake very well earned back at the cafe.
Kath has years of experience as a highly qualified Pilates instructor and is planning more events like this for 2026. Keep an eye on our social media or sign up to our newsletter to stay in the loop. We can’t guarantee the dolphins but we’ll do our best!
