Laura Nelkin is practically synonymous with the knitting scene. She is a world renowned designer and teacher, with endless creativity and enthusiasm to spare… plus she is just so much fun to be around! When we decided to do a retreat that featured the Cabaret Theater, we knew Laura (and her alter-ego Lola!) would be the perfect choice. Once again our luxurious getaway in Southern Oregon will take place at The Winchester Inn, and can accommodate 23 Guests. These retreats sell out quickly, so don’t wait to book your ticket! See full details below.

• 3 night stay in an individual room with private bathroom at Winchester Inn, November 2-5, 2026
