WHAT WE DO
RETREATS
Our property is a sanctuary. It is a place where groups, couples and individuals can come to relax, be refreshed, and replenished. We offer lodging for groups of all sizes, as well as dining options and can even provide retreat content, if so desired, to make the most of your visit to the True Vine property.
TEAM BUILDING
The True Vine offers a variety of activities that will strengthen your team. We offer both a high and a low ropes course which will encourage communication, build trust, and unify vision among your team members, employees, or youth group. All of our activities are monitored by our staff to ensure all participants benefit from these challenges.
