When most people hear California wine country, they may tend to think of Northern and even Central areas of the state, but Southern California has some wonderful wineries and vineyards (link to Temecula), even some in unexpected places. Just as most hear “Napa” and think of wine, they hear Malibu and think of the beach, which is why you might very well be surprised to find a fabulous wine hike in Malibu, California – a perfect wine and nature-filled escape.
Malibu Wine Hikes offers scenic tours of the picturesque Saddlerock Ranch Estate in Malibu where you will walk through the vines, enjoy views of the Malibu hills, rare Chumash cave paintings, gardens, and more.
The beautiful, expansive property in the Santa Monica Mountains is incredibly scenic with sweeping views, large rock formations, hills, valleys, grapevines, flowers, and oak trees.
Saddlerock is a family-owned wine company. Planting of the now 70,000 vines began in 1997 in this unique rocky terrain that produces premium wine grapes.
Your wine hike tour involves a 2.5-mile loop through the hilly ranch. Along the way, your guide will offer a wealth of education about the varietals grown and the process of winemaking, as well as the history of the wine company.
This nature-focused wine hike is an idyllic combination of physical activity and relaxation as you breathe in the fresh mountain air and breathtaking nature views throughout the ranch.
The Ranch is home to many species of wildlife, including mammals, reptiles, and birds. It is also a fantastic place to raise and care for a lot of adorable animals including horses and donkeys, llamas and alpacas, sheep and goats, even zebras, and a friendly giraffe. You will have an opportunity to visit these happy creatures after hiking.
Guided wine hikes are offered daily from Wednesday through Monday, last from two to three hours, and start at $49 per adult. Can you imagine a better escape for a day?
