Winter Horseback Ride & Wine Tasting
Ride through snow-covered forests
Join Discover Outdoors for a day of riding and wine tasting. Start with a lovely drive upstate to the stables, which sit on hundreds of wooded acres and boast some of the best riding trails in the Northeast.
After a short safety briefing, get acquainted with your horse. The lively but well-mannered horses have names like Uno, Dos and Tres; there is even an all-white pony called Gringo. We will saddle up, then ride for two hours through fields and woods with an experienced wrangler. All skill levels are welcome. In proper conditions for experienced riders, cantering is allowed.
Next, we will drive to a beautiful vineyard in the Hudson Valley for a wine tasting. Enjoy a sample of reds and whites along with some of the best hard ciders in America. Listen to the winery’s live acoustic music while you eat and afterwards stroll around the vineyard grounds.
