Terrific Horseback / Wine Tour

Had a wonderful private tour through Captain Jacks. Jacob picked us up promptly at our hotel and shuttled us up to the ranch for a gorgeous morning horseback ride. The wranglers chose our horses for us based on riding experience and I must say, I was impressed! The animals are well cared for and it shows. There were only 4 guests on our ride and it was easy to converse with trail guide. The scenery is stunning! After this, we drove up to taste wine at 2 different vineyards. We enjoyed a deliciou...read more

Sip & Saddle - Awesome day from pickup to drop off!!

My wife and I wanted to do something fun and somewhat off the beaten path. The horse ride and wine tasting was a great combination! The staff at the ranch were amazing and picked horses based on the rider’s ability. Meredith not only ferried us from hotel to stables to wineries, but shared tons of interesting local history and made short detours to show us cool locations along the way. We never felt rushed and thoroughly enjoyed the whole day! Highly recommend!

10 out of 5 stars

I booked a horseback riding and wine tasting tour for my besties bachelorette party this month. We had the most amazing experience with Captain Jack’s Tours. I honestly can’t say enough good things. Our tour guide Meredith was so kind, and really went above and beyond for our group of girls. Right from the start, she was comforting my friend who gets nervous on long drives. Throughout the day, she checked in and made sure we had cold water and snacks to keep us going. After horseback riding, she...read more
