What to expect
After a safety briefing and helmet fitting, you'll be matched with a horse suited to your experience level. The trail ride takes you through the vineyard landscape at a steady pace—nothing strenuous, just enough to feel the land beneath you. Once back, you'll move indoors for the wine tasting portion. Your guide walks you through Petaluma's current releases, covering the basics of what you're tasting and why. Expect to spend roughly an hour in the saddle, then 45 minutes on the tasting.
