Our estate Margarita Vineyard resides on the historic Santa Margarita Ranch, which is one of California’s oldest continuously operated cattle ranches.

Needless to say, we know a thing or two about horseback riding. In fact, during the branding season, you will see our ownership families riding and roping right alongside ranch manager Jeff McKee and his cowboys.

It is in this spirit that we now offer a unique horseback riding experience for everyone on August 11–and it concludes on a delectable note!

Indeed, we have teamed up with Central Coast Trail Rides for a guided one-hour horseback ride across some of the ranch’s most beautiful terrain, with views of mountains, vineyards and oak savannahs. Afterward, we will retire to our tasting room and cafe, where brunch or lunch will be paired with Ancient Peaks wines.

There are two rides offered on August 11: 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. followed by brunch, and 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., followed by lunch.
