Vineyards · HORSES
Good horse rides through the vines fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride through Mendoza vineyards and olive groves, then enjoy a multi-course barbecue lunch with paired wines at historic Club Tapiz.
“Ricky was a great host from Trout and Wine, and Cesar and Elío were fantastic and very patient with us, as we hadn't ridden in 20 years. The lunch following was out of this world. I highly recommend this tour.”
Ride through Franschhoek vineyards at Vrede en Lust with calm horses, mountain views, expert guides, and useful tips for beginners.
“This was such a special experience and one of the highlights of our time in Franschhoek. I had never ridden a horse before, and the rest of our group were beginners too, but from the very start the guides made us feel completely at ease. The briefing was thorough and reassuring, and it was immediately clear how experienced they were and how well they knew their horses. The horses themselves were absolutely lovely; calm, gentle, and clearly very well cared for which made such a difference for first-time riders. Riding through the vineyards was breathtakingly beautiful, and the pace was perfectly suited to our confidence levels, allowing us to relax…”
Ride through Franschhoek vineyards and fynbos on a guided two-hour horse trail at Vrede en Lust, with mountain views and wine afterward.
“We had a fantastic experience. Our guide, Michelle, has been riding for over 20 years and is lovely. If you haven't ridden before, you are in very safe hands, as she knows all the routes. Her horses are excellently trained and very obedient. The scenery is breathtaking. Do not hesitate to book this. It is the best way to see the beautiful countryside and very relaxing. We plan to do it again; we loved it so much.”
