This newly released offer runs this winter, from January 9th until March 29th, 2026.
This is highly recommended, as the experience is as rewarding as it is memorable. Start out your day or afternoon riding with us, exploring the historic land just north of San Luis Obispo and just south of Paso Robles, on horseback with friendly and knowledgeable wranglers! If it’s your first time with us, you’ll realize why this unique area of SLO County is our slice, or glass, of heaven. Every trail is unforgettable and is a chance to slow down and enjoy the remote spaces accented by scattered oaks, dense vegetation, and wonderful views of the vineyards and vast ranch landscapes.
What makes this experience truly memorable and unique is that we ride directly around and through the vineyards where Ancient Peaks grow the grapes that become their award winning wines. We’ll give you a behind the scenes look into what makes the impressive growing conditions at the Santa Margarita Ranch AVA, the Margarita Cattle operation and all the wildlife that call the ranch home.
You'll quickly learn why the connection between Ancient Peaks Wines and their land is truly important and reflected in every glass of their wine. The winery and cafe are also committed to sourcing locally, which includes their own Angus Beef. Their farm to table dedication reflects a sustainable and ethical approach to food and wine, another reason to enjoy this opportunity to combine the ride and tasting room experience together during your next visit.
This unique experience is perfect for couples looking for a memorable day, groups planning a weekend in Pismo Beach or San Luis Obispo, or locals looking for new things to try close to home. You’ll leave feeling in good spirits, connected our horses, the land , the vines, and then the wines!
