As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited to share two thoughtfully designed Le Dolci experiences — each created to nourish creativity, confidence, and connection, just in very different ways.
Whether you’re planning a meaningful summer for your child, or dreaming of a restorative weekend immersed in cake, nature, and community, these are experiences worth putting on your calendar early.
