Riders and non-riders, alike, are welcome to join us for our next "Sip and Ride," a unique pairing of equestrian excellence with the elegance of wine tasting and the fun of "horse trivia!"

Guests are welcomed into an afternoon of wine, food, and equine exploration and enjoyment, strictly curated for attendees who are 21 and over. Please bring a bottle of your favorite wines to enjoy and share with the rest of the attendees.

These events unfold at 3:00 p.m. and runs for around 2-hours, packed with engaging activities, delicious snacks, and informative sessions.

The Sip 'n Ride kicks off with a mini horseback riding lesson (for those who choose to ride). Catering to both beginners and experienced riders, our knowledgeable instructors will teach riders through the basics, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable riding experience.

For all guests (riders and non-riders), wine tasting and trivia follows the riding (please bring a bottle of your favorite vino to share). During this section of the event, participants will have the opportunity to sample the favorite wines, right here in wine country! Complemented by a serving of meticulously chosen appetizers to enhance the tasting experience.

As the group enjoys wine and charcuterie, all will be able to participate in our lighthearted "horse trivia" game.

This event is rain or shine! We have a spacious indoor arena!
