RESERVE TRIPS FAQs WHAT IS A RESERVE TRIP? A fully vetted, thoughtfully designed Featherbee retreat where every accommodation, experience, restaurant, and partner has been carefully selected and tested. HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM A DISCOVERY OR LEGACY TRIP? Reserve Trips are polished and seamless. The destination, flow, and experiences are locked in. Discovery Trips are exploratory. Legacy Trips are our most elevated, once a year feature experience. WHAT MAKES A RESERVE TRIP DIFFERENT FROM A TYPICAL HOLIDAY? Nothing is generic. Every experience is bespoke, locally rooted, and designed specifically for our group. This is not a packaged itinerary or a plug and play luxury trip. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON A RESERVE TRIP? Groups are intentionally small, typically up to 12 guests. WHERE DO WE STAY? One exceptional property chosen for comfort, beauty, and wellness. These are private retreats designed to support both shared moments and quiet downtime. WILL YOU BE STAYING WITH US? Sometimes we stay on site, sometimes nearby. Either way, you are always fully hosted and well taken care of. WHAT ARE THE EXPERIENCES LIKE? Each excursion is customized to the region and focused on local craft and culture. Examples include paragliding in South Tyrol, pasta making in Tuscany, pottery in Catalonia, or truffle hunting in Piedmont. Every experience is chosen for depth, access, and quality. IS EVERYTHING INCLUDED? Yes. Accommodations, scheduled meals, tastings, curated experiences, transportation during planned activities, and vetted local guides are all included. WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED? Extra drinks beyond what is provided, ordering off menu, independent meals during free time, and tips for guides. ARE TIPS INCLUDED? No. Tips are not included and are left to your discretion for guides and local hosts. DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN EVERY ACTIVITY? No. All experiences are optional. If you want to stay back and enjoy the property, spa, pool, or quiet time, that is always welcome. IS THERE DOWNTIME? Yes. Reserve Trips are designed with space built in. We value rest as much as experience. WHO ARE THESE TRIPS FOR? Guests who value thoughtful travel, exceptional food, local culture, and small group experiences that feel personal and considered. WHO ARE THESE TRIPS NOT FOR? Travelers looking for nightlife focused itineraries, packed schedules, or traditional luxury tourism. IS EVERYTHING PLANNED IN ADVANCE? Yes. Reserve Trips are fully designed and vetted before launch so guests can relax into the experience. WHO ARE THE HOSTS? We’re Cat and Derek. Designer and chef. Our careers have been built in kitchens, studios, and out in the field. We design the experience end to end and work closely with local partners to ensure everything feels effortless and intentional.
