What to expect
You'll start with a safety briefing and helmet fitting, then mount up for a guided ride through the vineyard terrain. The route winds through Petaluma's property; pace is leisurely and your guide manages the group throughout. After returning from the trail, you'll head inside for the wine tasting component, which is structured and informative.
The tasting runs through a selection of their wines with explanations from staff. Kids remain with the group but receive juice or soft drinks instead. The whole experience wraps within the two-hour window, so no extended cellar-door lounging.

Good to know
This suits riders who want a gentle introduction to horses without prior experience — fitness level is not a barrier. However, it's not suitable if you have spinal injuries or are pregnant, as both the saddle and the motion carry real physical stress. You're on a horse for roughly the first hour, which means weather exposure (check conditions beforehand), and vineyard terrain can be muddy or uneven underfoot. Group size isn't specified, so confirm when booking. Wine tasting is included; gratuities are not. Kids are welcome on the ride but the tasting is adult-focused with a soft-drink alternative for them.
