Come gather with us.
There’s room at the table.
Come to the table.
Sofra is a gathering place.
A space where meals are more than meals;
they’re invitations into story, culture, and connection.
We host intimate culinary retreats and chef residencies designed to slow you down and bring you closer.
Closer to the food, to the people around you, and to what it means to truly belong at the table. More than that, we want you to take what you’ve learned during your time with us and use it to create welcome in your own, daily life.
What We Do
At Sofra, we create weekends that feel like stepping into another world… without ever needing to leave the table.
Each retreat is centered around food experiences, or a chef and their story.
Not just what they cook, but where it comes from. Who taught them. What it carries.
You don’t just dine. We’re asking you to participate.
You learn, you gather, you linger.
This isn’t a performance.
It’s an invitation.
Chef Residencies
We partner with chefs to create deeply personal, story-driven experiences.
For a weekend, the inn becomes theirs—
their kitchen, their table, their menu, their rhythm.
Guests are invited into that world:
Shared meals that unfold slowly
Conversations that stretch late into the night
Food that carries memory, heritage, and meaning
No two residencies are the same because no two stories or chefs are.
Why Sofra
“Sofra” is a word used across many cultures to describe a table laid out for sharing food.
Not a formal dining table.
Something lower, closer, more communal.
It’s a reminder that the table has always been about more than what’s served.
It’s about who’s invited.
Who feels welcome.
And what happens when we choose to sit together.
Pull up a chair.
For the ones who gather…
-
Sofra is for people who:
Care about where food comes from
Long for deeper connection around the table
Believe hospitality is something we can all practice
You don’t need to be a chef.
You just need to come hungry for something more.
-
Sofra is for the ones who feel like something has been missing from the way we gather.
Who’ve sat at beautiful tables that still felt empty, and long for meals that mean something.
Where conversation lingers, stories are shared, and no one is rushing to leave.
-
It’s for those who host, or want to.
Who believe hospitality isn’t about perfection, but about presence.
Who are learning (slowly, imperfectly) how to open their table wider, to welcome more fully, and to create spaces where people feel seen, known, and at ease.
