Join us as we escape for the day to the Ojai Valley, renowned for its unique geography, rich history and agricultural bounty. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the valley has long been a haven for artists, writers, and spiritual seekers. In fact, its seclusion, serene beauty and stunning mountain backdrop were so captivating that the valley served as the filming location for the mythical, utopian paradise of “Shangri-La” in the 1937 movie Lost Horizon, a title Ojai proudly carries to this day. Today is a special day in Ojai! We’ll be there for the annual Ojai Day Festival, an annual one-day celebration where the entire community comes together to celebrate this quirky and quaint town with locally infused arts, entertainment, vendors, and activities. Enjoy time leisure in this small, charming town featuring gorgeous Mission Revival architecture to enjoy lunch on your own in the charming cafés, explore the festival, and browse the vintage bookstores, antique shops and galleries featuring works by local artists. This afternoon we’ll travel the backroads to Upper Ojai Valley and the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts, the museum dedicated to celebrating the life and work of Beatrice Wood, the legendary American artist, studio potter, and a key figure in the avant-garde Dada movement. Known as the "Mama of Dada" because of her involvement in the avant-garde Dada movement in New York, Woods moved to Ojai in 1948, developed a passion for ceramics and became famous for her unique, lustrous glazes and whimsical, figurative works. A docent-guided tour will showcase her former home and studio which she designed herself and lived and worked in from 1948 until her death at the age of 105! Located on a 20-acre hillside property with spectacular views of the valley below, the home and studio have been meticulously preserved and showcases her tools, materials, and unfinished works, offering a powerful sense of her creative process.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
