Each morning, you'll wake up to a delicious, home-cooked catered breakfast at the Wander Inn and begin the day at your leisure whether sipping your coffee on the porch or taking a morning stroll on the beautiful property.
After breakfast, we’ll gather and head out in style, chauffeured in a luxury sprinter van to a carefully selected venue or field. Each day, we take you to our personal favorite fields, venues and vendors where you can hunt for one-of-a-kind treasures and vintage finds. Whether you’re seeking that perfect piece of furniture, retro decor, or unique collectibles, there’s something for every taste.
Throughout the day, you’ll have plenty of time to explore at your own pace, picking through the tents and chatting with the vendors. Our team will be there to guide you, offer expert recommendations, help negotiate pricing if desired and answer any questions you may have along the way. You’ll also have the freedom to wander off on your own to explore a particular area or vendor, with a designated meeting spot for our mid-afternoon pick-up.
Lunches are yours to enjoy on your own, but we’ll provide you with some local recommendations, so you can savor the best bites Round Top has to offer.
As the afternoon winds down, we’ll gather again and head back to The Wander Inn, where you can unwind, relax, and reflect on the day's finds. 2 nights we will have a delicious catered dinner on the property under the stunning 200 year old oak trees, while 2 evenings we will depart into the town center for dinner at famous local eateries. Whether it’s a quiet evening by the fire, taking a dip in the stock tank pools, reading on the porch or just enjoying good conversation with fellow treasure hunters, your evening is all about relaxation and enjoying the retreat's peaceful ambiance.
Every day at the retreat is designed to give you a perfect balance of exploration, relaxation, and plenty of opportunities to connect with other vintage enthusiasts. It’s an unforgettable experience where you’ll leave with not only beautiful finds but also new friends and cherished memories.
