Our spa for the mind is an easy drive from Montreal and Ottawa

If you live in either the Montreal or Ottawa region, a key advantage of our getaways is that getting to us is easy.  Located just off route 329 North in Lakefield, Gore, we're only one hour from Montreal and 90 minutes from Ottawa, and all on major routes. That said, once you arrive at our wooded lakeside estate you feel like you are nestled in the heart of the Laurentians.




You can visit us at The Nurtury, in Lakefield, Gore

You are welcome to come along to find out more about our beautiful premises and location. This is an opportunity to see first hand whether The Nurtury would be a suitable place to go on one of our artist or writer retreats, or to host your own retreats, meetings or events. It will also give you the chance to find out if a wwp weekend or away day is for you. Please email us to make an appointment and get directions to The Nurtury.

If you would like us to come to your workplace to talk about wine women and philosophy, or to address your friendship circle, sporting club or activity group about a weekend designed especially for you, just let us know.




We would be interested in hearing from you about: 

  • your own experiences of learning
  • how you came to look us up
  • your thoughts about our pedagogy and our philosophy
  • your ideas for more wwp getaways 
  • how we can continue to build the friends of wine women and philosophy network.
