Now hosting: Winter Hosting Ideas Inspired by the Jet-Set Era

Winter Collection Home Page.png

This winter, Wander & Host explores how travel changed the way people gather — and how you can bring those ideas into your own home.

During the Jet-Set era, travelers didn’t just bring back souvenirs. They brought back new ways of hosting: cocktail-first evenings, relaxed timelines, shared tasting moments, and gatherings built around experience — not just dinner.

This season, you’ll find winter hosting ideas, cocktail hour inspiration, and modern dinner party concepts rooted in how people actually gathered in ski towns, warm-weather resorts, cafés, and hotel lounges.

The result? Gatherings that feel less routine and more like an experience — without complicated menus or rigid schedules.
