Our Story
More Than a
Tennis Retreat
Volley & Vine was created from a simple belief: luxury travel becomes even more meaningful when it's shared with people who love the same things you do.
The Beginning
A life shaped by the game — and everything around it.
The most meaningful memories were never only made on the tennis court.
Our founder is a former professional tennis player who spent years traveling the world through the sport — from clay in Europe to hard courts across Asia and the Americas. Tennis opened every door. But the moments that stayed weren't only the matches.
They were long lunches that turned into afternoons. Quiet mornings in unfamiliar towns. Conversations with strangers who became friends. The taste of a wine you couldn't find at home. The feeling of a place you'd return to for the rest of your life.
Volley & Vine was born from a desire to bring all of it together — the sport, the places, the people, the table — into one unforgettable week.
Our Purpose
Why We Created
Volley & Vine
Luxury travel is even more meaningful when it's shared with people who love the same things you do.
Volley & Vine was created to bring together racquet-sport enthusiasts for unforgettable experiences in the world's most beautiful destinations.
Tennis is only the beginning.
The real magic happens over long dinners, wine tastings, walks through historic cities, and the friendships formed throughout the week.
Our Philosophy
Play. Sip. Explore. Connect.
Four ideas guide every retreat we design — and every choice we make in between.
Play
- World-class coaching.
- Small groups.
- Daily tennis.
- Personalized attention.
Sip
- Exceptional wine.
- Estate olive oil.
- Regional cuisine.
- Authentic local tables.
Explore
- Historic cities.
- Hidden villages.
- Luxury accommodations.
- Culture and adventure.
Connect
- Meet incredible people.
- Share unforgettable experiences.
- Build friendships that last long after the week ends.
Why Small Groups Matter
Intentionally small.
Exceptionally personal.
Every retreat is limited to roughly 12–20 guests. Not because of capacity — but because it's what makes the week feel like something you'd want to return to.
- Personalized coaching
- Meaningful conversations
- Stronger friendships
- Attentive, unhurried service
- A relaxed, human pace
- A more intimate luxury experience
What Makes Us Different
A week you couldn't assemble on your own.
Anyone can book a beautiful hotel in Tuscany. What you can't recreate is a thoughtfully curated week where every detail — the coaches, the courts, the cars, the tables, the timing — has been considered together.
It's the difference between a good trip and one you'll talk about for years.
- Daily coaching
- Match play
- Five-star accommodations
- Exceptional dining
- Cultural experiences
- Private transportation
- Small groups
- Personalized service
- A welcoming community
Looking Ahead
