Ninety Minutes on Georgia Trails, Then Wine and Lunch

You ride for 90 minutes on maintained Georgia trails with a guide who adjusts to your skill level, then head to a winery for six tastings and a picnic lunch made from their organic farm. The location (Clayton or Athens area) gets confirmed before you book, and the whole day runs about eight hours with transportation included between the ride and the winery.

The Experience

So you're on a horse, moving through wooded trails in either Clayton or Athens—whichever location gets assigned to you before the day starts—and the guide is actually paying attention to whether you've ridden before or if this is your first time. That matters because the horseback ride stretches 90 minutes and the trails are maintained, but they're not flat or boring. Beginners don't get left behind; advanced riders don't get held up. The guide carries First Aid and CPR certification, which is the kind of detail you don't think about until you're glad it's there.

After the ride, you drive to one of Georgia's wineries—the exact one depends on which riding location you started from, since some are 30 to 90 miles out from Atlanta. The winery visit isn't rushed. You get six tastings, casual and unhurried, and the staff knows what they're doing. This is the part where the day shifts from physical to slow, and it works because you're hungry by then.

Lunch is picnic-style: turkey, flatbread, mustard, hummus, nuts, berries, and seasonal greens from their organic farm. It's not fancy, but it's real food that tastes like it came from somewhere, not a catering box. You eat it at the winery, probably outside if the weather holds. The whole thing—ride, drive, tastings, lunch—takes the full day, so plan for roughly eight hours from start to finish, depending on your location.

One thing to know: you need to be at least 13 to ride and 21 to drink, and you should be comfortable with moderate physical activity. The trails aren't technical, but 90 minutes in a saddle is real work if you've never done it. Wheelchair access is available throughout, and service animals are welcome.

What’s included

Your day includes the 90-minute horseback ride with a professional guide trained in First Aid and CPR, transportation to the winery, six wine tastings, a picnic-style lunch with turkey, flatbread, hummus, nuts, berries, and organic greens, and the winery visit itself. Infants and small children can be accommodated in a pram or stroller.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to combine two separate activities—riding and wine tasting—without arranging transport between them or figuring out timing yourself; the full-day structure handles both in one trip, and the moderate fitness requirement is what keeps the ride accessible to most people without being a walk.
