The Tender Harvest: An Autumn Retreat in Ireland
September 20 - 26, 2026
Ballymaloe House
County Cork, Ireland
Immerse yourself in the golden splendor of autumn at Ballymaloe House, a historic country estate nestled in the lush Irish countryside. Harvest is an invitation to celebrate this season of brilliance and bounty, to awaken and nourish your body, heart, mind, and spirit.
Set amidst the rolling fields and coastal cliffs of County Cork, Ballymaloe offers the perfect sanctuary for renewal. Mornings will open with yoga and meditation in the gentle light of autumn. Afternoons will invite perfectly curated field trips, including an idyllic cliff walk, traditional coastal spas, famous Blarney Castle, and more — and also invite spaciousness to explore the estate’s gardens, walk nearby trails, or simply rest and revel in the beauty of Ireland’s lush, verdant landscapes.
Each day, we’ll enjoy world-class organic meals crafted from the estate’s gardens and local farms, a true celebration of Ireland’s culinary heritage and the season’s harvest. Evenings will round out with restorative and reflective practices, inviting deep integration as the day fades.
The crisp air, golden foliage, and quiet magic of Ballymaloe in autumn offer an unparalleled sensory experience. Gift yourself or someone you love this sacred time to connect deeply with a community of spirit, the earth, and the transformative energy of this threshold season.
