"My mum and I had an absolutely amazing experience on the horse riding tour through the beautiful Petaluma winery! The scenery was stunning, the horses were gorgeous and the wonderful Allison guided us, making sure we had the best time. She was a delight and also took lots of pictures and videos for us while we were riding!
After the ride, we enjoyed a beautifully prepared platter and drinks at the winery, overlooking the stunning vineyards. Thanks to the lovely Chantelle who looked after us!
Definitely book this if you’re looking for a unique, fun and beautifully hosted experience in the hills. Would happily do it again!"
