People Riding Horses in Vineyard

Horseback Vineyard Tour
(package for two)

Package includes:

  • horseback vineyard tour for two
  • complimentary wine tasting
  • Charcuterie Box for two 

Indian Summer Guide Service is central Virginia’s premier vineyard riding experience! Enjoy the views of the Blue Ridge on a private, guided horseback ride at the venue of your choice. Every ride is uniquely tailored to the group and terrain. Calm, trained, well-behaved horses will lead you through an unforgettable, unrestricted riding experience. Indian Summer Guide Service has built relationships with Charlottesville’s finest wineries in order to offer guests access to some of the most breathtaking properties in the region.

Hop on the saddle with your significant other, your family, or your friends⁠—whoever you decide to bring, the experience is shaped around the desires of your group. Each of our private horseback rides is led by one of our knowledgeable guides, who will ensure your safety as well as your enjoyment.

After the ride, make your way to the tasting room to enjoy locally crafted wines or ciders. Each guest (21 and older) receives a full tasting from a knowledgeable employee of the venue. After your tasting, feel free to stock up on your favorites to drink at the venue or to take home!

Guests also will enjoy a charcuterie box filled with tasty items to enjoy after the ride!

Venues include: Glass House Winery, King Family Vineyards, Pollak Vineyards, Veritas Vineyard & Winery, Keswick Vineyards, Cunningham Creek Winery at Middle Fork Farm, Castle Hill Cider, and The Market at Grelen (some venues require food from off-site to be consumed outside the tasting room).

For groups larger than two, please call Beth-Anne directly to discuss options.
