Join us for our next "Sip and Ride," a unique pairing of equestrian excellence with the elegance of wine tasting.
Guests are welcomed into an afternoon of exploration and enjoyment, strictly curated for attendees who are 21 and over.
Attendees may join us for just the wine tasting class, or may also participate in the horseback riding lesson (this part is limited to 8 guests, total).
These events unfold at 2 p.m., and runs for two hours, packed with engaging activities, delicious food, and informative sessions.
The afternoon kicks off with a wine tasting, during which participants will have the opportunity to sample and learn about a selection of exquisite Fruit Wines (mostly for those that like sweeter wines). All this will be complemented by a serving of meticulously chosen appetizers to enhance the tasting experience.
Our expert sommelier will guide you through the subtleties and aromas of each wine, ensuring an enriching learning experience. The "Sip and Ride" event promises not only a delightful experience but also a wealth of knowledge to be cherished beyond the evening.
Following the engaging wine tasting session, guests who choose to ride will head to the stable for a horseback riding lesson. Catering to both beginners and experienced riders, our knowledgeable instructors will guide you through the basics, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable riding experience.
Non-riding guests may depart at that time, or may stay through to watch the riding lesson, pet the horses, and enjoy the peace of our Bryan, Texas, farm.
Pricing:
$99 (includes 1 horseback riding mini lesson)
$30 (just wine education and tasting, no horseback riding)
Enjoy an afternoon of fun and education with fellow horse and wine lovers!
Guests will learn about the spring flavors of Fruit based wines!
Guests who do not choose to ride are welcome to pet the horses, and watch the riding.
