The Gift For Someone Who Has Everything

"Renaissance Club is the most unique holiday gift for anyone in LA or Orange County."

How Gifting Works


Give someone a Renaissance Club membership for 1, 2, 3 or 6 months.

You pay once, and they get a surprise experience in Los Angeles or Orange County for every month of the gift.

Solo (one person): 1 month $145 · 2 months $270 · 3 months $385 · 6 months $750
Duo (two people): 1 month $290 · 2 months $545 · 3 months $755 · 6 months $1,500

After checkout, you and your recipient both get an email with your personalized message and instructions to redeem. They can redeem whenever they’re ready.

When they redeem, they choose a Classic or Premium plan (Solo for a Solo gift, Duo for a Duo gift), and the gift covers it for the full gift length. When the gift ends, the membership continues at that plan’s regular rate unless they cancel.

RENAISSANCE CLUB FAQ

What is Renaissance Club?

Renaissance Club is a monthly membership for adults in Los Angeles and Orange County who want to try new things but don't have time to plan them.

Each month, members pick three dates that work for them, and a concierge books them into a session with a vetted local expert, chosen from more than 100 kinds of experiences like blacksmithing, glassblowing, kayaking, cooking classes, pottery, falconry, perfumery, omakase, and more.

The cost of every experience is 100% covered under your membership. The activity is revealed weeks in advance. Members can then approve the experience, or swap it out with a different one of their choosing.

Members join Solo or as a Duo with a partner or friend, often meeting other members at sessions. Monthly large-group meetups are also available to join at no additional cost, and are entirely bonus (and optional). Memberships start at $99 a month.

Gift memberships are also available for 1 to 6 months, starting at $145.

How much does a Renaissance Club membership cost?

Membership costs roughly what you would spend on a single night of dinner and drinks. You only pay the monthly fee. Every experience is free.

Here's the breakdown.


- 1 experience per month (Monthly): $119/mo per person (or $99/mo billed quarterly)

- 2 experiences per month (Biweekly): $229/mo per person (or $189/mo billed quarterly)

- Premium Add-On: additional $26/mo per person (this includes premium experiences like Blacksmithing, Glassblowing, Falconry, Skydiving, Omakase, etc. added into your rotation)

What's included in the membership fee? What's not included?

Under your membership, the cost of ALL your experiences is completely covered.

Your membership also comes with white-glove concierge support, full suggested itineraries near your activities, and access to our vast array of incredible experiences.

*Note: The only costs we do not cover are the occasional extra expenses like street or garage parking, vendor tips (optional), gift shop purchases, food and drink, etc.

What's the difference between the Premium and Classic membership?

The Premium package gives you access to our full suite of experiences.

Premium experiences are woven into your journey alongside the Classic experiences, and include activities like Blacksmithing, Hang Gliding, Falconry, Omakase, Perfumery, Coffee Roasting, and more!

Will there be other Renaissance Club members at my experiences?

The short answer: YES! (Most of the time)

The longer answer: Weekends are our busiest days, so Saturday and Sunday experiences usually come with many fellow members.

A Wednesday evening? Less likely, and some sessions are open to the public too. Some experiences are just more solo by nature (sensory deprivation tank vs. a big pottery class).

We always try to book members together, so the more open you are to what we offer, the better your odds. Plus, we host bigger member meetups about once a month, so there’s never a shortage of new faces.

Do I lose my money if I have no experiences in a certain month?

Great question (and one of our most common)! It's best to think of it less as an experience "per calendar month," and rather to think of it as "per membership cycle".

Your membership cycle starts on the day you sign up, and renews on that same day each month (so if you join on the 10th of January, your cycle renews on the 10th of each month thereafter).

 

In other words, you will always get an experience every membership cycle, regardless of what month it is. If you renew twice, you get 2 experiences. Renew 4 times, you get 4 experiences.

Depending on your date selection, it's very common that you may end up having
two experiences in one calendar month, or sometimes even having an entire calendar month without an experience. It all depends on your date selection, and whether or not you reschedule things. 

Additionally, if you're too busy during a given cycle, you can claim a credit instead, which can be used at any time in the future either as an additional experience, or as an extra ticket to bring a friend along.

When we ask you to make a date selection or approve an experience, we wait 7 days for you to reply. If we do not hear from you, we issue a credit for you automatically, so you're always getting your money's worth!

Can I bring friends outside the club along to my experiences?

Yes! If there are still slots available, we can absolutely get you an extra ticket for a guest outside the club upon request. If you have credits available, we'll use a credit and get it taken care of for you!

If not, you can get additional credits directly from your profile page (just hit Buy Credits on the top right).

To be clear, we still need to verify there is space available, so we'll have to get back to you on that, but if we can get your approval in advance that will allow us to act fast if slots are available!

What is the average age of your members?

Our typical age range is mid-30s to mid-50s, though we have members from 21 to 80+!


While we strive to group members together within a 10-year age range whenever possible, we can't always guarantee it due to varying schedules, preferences, and other factors. Also, most experiences include non-members, so interactions may vary.

Overall, we try to emphasize that Renaissance Club really shines for people interested in trying many new things and meeting people of all walks of life.

Can I join with a partner?

Absolutely! Renaissance Club is perfect to join with partners, friends, or family! It's a great way to deepen any relationship.

What kinds of experiences will I be doing?

While there are over 100 unique experiences, each one is derived from one of 6 major categories:

Arts & Crafts - pottery, woodwork, blacksmithing, candle-making, painting, etc.

Culinary Arts - cooking classes, tastings, foraging, coffee roasting, mixology, etc.

Motion - archery, dance, kayaking, climbing, fencing, rage rooms, trapeze, etc.

Culture - live shows, escape rooms, whale watching, magic, exhibits, special tours, etc.

Spirituality - tai chi, meditation, sensory deprivation, sound baths, etc.

Thrill Seeker - high adrenaline activities like skydiving, trapeze, and bunjee jumping

Any experience may be swapped with a different one if you're uncomfortable with it. Your journey is entirely under your control.

How are my experiences curated?

Each month, we will ask you to choose three dates you are free.

From there, your concierge meticulously selects and curates your experiences, tailoring each experience to you based on your unique availability, preferences, and date selections.

You may update your availability and preferences at any time in your portal. All of our vendors are highly vetted, and we’re constantly iterating our ration based on member feedback after each experience.

How often will I receive new experiences?

You will receive new curated experiences every month at the top of each membership cycle (which starts and ends on the day you join), ensuring a constant stream of exciting and unique activities to enjoy.

Monthly members will get 1 experience per month. Biweekly members will get 2 experiences per month.

On top of that, we also have additional "member meet ups" in addition to your normal experiences that pop up every month or so. These are more traditional "meetup style" events at various venues for larger groups, giving members a chance to mix and mingle.

Can I reschedule my experience if something comes up?

While we do ask that you commit to the date you chose, we get that life happens!

With 99% of experiences, rescheduling is a simple click of a button, so long as we are respecting the vendor's policy.

Every vendor has a different deadline past which we can no longer make any changes. That deadline is determined by the vendor, not us. As long as you request to reschedule before that deadline, we’ll happily reschedule you! ​

Can I skip a month if I need a break or traveling?

Yes! In your portal, you can skip up to 3 months at a time, completely free.

If you've already paid for a month, and we have not yet booked your experience, notify us right away and we'll happily give you a credit which can be redeemed any time, either as an additional experience, or as an *extra ticket for a friend to a future experience.

*Extra ticket may not be applicable for some premium experiences.

What if I'm uncomfortable with trying an experience?

While we ask that you be open-minded, you are never obligated to partake in any experience you are uncomfortable with!

Upon receiving your experience reveal, you have the option to swap it out with something else. Upon hitting this button, you'll see a curated menu of alternative options to choose from.

Since we use your preferences to curate your experiences, this should happen very rarely, if at all. ​

If I'm in a DUO, can I bring someone else if my +1 can't make it?

Great question, and yes! In most cases, you may bring someone else instead of your +1.

Just let us know beforehand, as some experiences require specific participant information (names, weights, dietary restrictions, etc.). For the smoothest experience, we recommend keeping the same partner when possible.

There may be a few experiences that only allow those whose exact name is on the ticket, but most experiences should be perfectly fine. To be safe, please reach out to us if you'd like to bring someone else so we can double check for you.​

What happens if a vendor cancels my experience?

If any activity is canceled by the vendor for any reason (ie weather, illness, booking error, etc.), that, of course, is not on you and you will be rescheduled automatically at no extra charge.​

Will I ever repeat an experience?

We will always try to make sure you are not repeating experiences until you have completed all possible experiences available to you based on your membership and preferences.

That said, you are always welcome to repeat an experience if you enjoyed it!

How can I do experiences with other friends in the club?

Easy—just use our TRIBES feature! If you have friends in the club, add them to your Tribe. Once connected, you'll be able to see each other's plans, and request to join one another's experiences!

Additionally, if ever you decide to swap out the experience we've surprised you with, you'll be directed a menu of alternative options. Once there, simply type in the name of any fellow club member, and if they are booked for something you are eligible for, you'll be able to request to join them!

What are Perks?

Perks is a feature that isn't quite ready yet, but is coming soon!

With Perks, you'll get exclusive discounts to brands, restaurants, coffee shops, events, etc. all throughout LA for as long as you're an active member! These perks will be in addition to (not instead of) your already free experiences!

Think of it as your exclusive "key to the city." The best part? Your benefits will always continue to expand, as we are constantly building new partnerships with brands YOU vote for.

Perks gradually become unlocked in "tiers" the longer you remain a member. We are slowly building up a roster of partnerships we align with, and are so excited to unleash this feature. 

*It's worth noting that while this feature is not available yet, members who remain with us when that feature is released will enjoy access to 100% of the perks we have at the time as a gift for being an early adopter! Anyone who joins after the perks are released will not receive these benefits, and will need to unlock those perks over time. 

Can I gift an RC membership to someone?

Yes! Renaissance Club is one of the most unique and memorable gifts you could possibly give.

You can gift a membership to anyone you'd like on our Gift Page.

Will there be an RC representative at my experiences?

Due to the volume and variety of activities we have happening on any given day, there is no way we could possibly send (much less staff) a representative to be at each experience.

For this reason, we highly encourage members to take charge in sparking conversation with one another if another member is at your activity!

Are you able to accommodate members in wheelchairs?

We are constantly growing our network of experiences, and do everything we can to find ones that are as inclusive as possible!

We certainly have experiences that cater to wheelchair users such as pottery, cooking classes, and even garden tours, which are wheelchair friendly. It all really just depends on where you live (and how far you’re willing to drive if you don’t live in the central LA area). There is also the consideration of other factors such as dietary preferences, availability, and other factors which further limit which experiences you’d be able to do.

In the past, we have been able to accommodate those in wheelchairs, at least for a short period of time. It’s admittedly still an ongoing work in progress!

Can I cancel any time?

Yes! You can cancel any time! Whether you're on a month-to-month plan, or on a quarterly billing plan (every 3 months), just make sure to cancel at least 7 days prior to your membership renewing.

Your membership will remain active through the end of your current billing cycle.

Where in LA and OC are the adventures/vendors located?

Our experiences are located all throughout LA and Orange County! If you were to put your finger on DTLA, and drew a circle around that with a roughly 30-40 mile radius, that would cover the general area of most of our experiences.

For OC, the same applies if you were to put your finger on Anaheim.

That said, we do have a few select "outskirt" experiences as far as Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Malibu, Sylmar, Pasadena, etc.
