Michelle and her team have clearly created something special here. The horses get mentioned by name again and again in reviews—Benny, Sky, Archie, Sugar—and guests genuinely seem to bond with these gentle, well-trained animals. What stands out is how Michelle, along with guides like Tish and Travis, weave the history of Bartholomew Winery and the surrounding estate into each ride, making it both scenic and educational. The fact that they accommodate last-minute bookings and take tons of photos throughout the experience shows they're thinking about the little details that matter. This works beautifully for all experience levels, from childhood-dream first-timers to seasoned riders who appreciate quality horses. The optional add-on of wine tasting or a picnic lunch after your ride makes it easy to extend the experience. Communication is smooth from booking through the actual ride, and the warm, personable approach from everyone involved creates memorable moments that people want to repeat.
Thank you for making my birthday amazing! Turning 60 in the year of the Horse, I had dreamed of taking a trail ride horseback through a vineyard - and Michelle, Travis and Katie made it come true! I rode Bennie, such a love bug! My husband rode the handsome Sammy! I learned a lot, laughed a lot and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!
