Wine Country Tour by Horse and Carriage
The wineries visited are family-owned gems with award-winning wines, distinctive architecture and intriguing histories. You’ll be offered premium tastings of diverse varietals, such as crisp Sauvignon Blancs and buttery Chardonnays, spicy old vine Zinfandels and hearty Cabernet Sauvignons, all served with a casual and gracious hospitality. Your sumptuous, gourmet lunch includes fresh-baked baguettes, herbed meats, organic Greek olives, local and imported cheeses, fresh organic strawberries and wine-filled dark chocolate truffles.
The carriage has cushioned seats and a smooth, comfortable ride with a fringed shade top. You can even reach out and pick grapes from the vines along the narrow lanes without spilling a drop from your wine glass! Your coachman guide is informative and entertaining, with an insider’s view of local history, little known facts, the lifecycle of the vines and the wine-making process. The gentle steeds are the charismatic stars of the tour, and spending time with them will delight your soul and is sure to be a highlight of your vacation.
This is more than a wine tour. It’s a romantic and thrilling adventure with an intimate backstage look into the world of California wine!
