About
This 25-acre property combines an active equestrian center with a commercial vineyard and winery, offering guests a unique blend of pastoral charm and wine country hospitality. The facility features professional horse boarding operations, rolling pastures, and a two-acre vineyard with an on-site winery that opened in 2024. Visitors can experience the authentic rhythms of farm life while enjoying a peaceful, countrified setting that remains conveniently close to urban amenities.
Guests consistently praise the welcoming atmosphere and the opportunity to interact with the horses on the property, from observing them in their daily routines to hand-feeding and spending time with individual animals. The winery offers tastings of award-winning wines produced on-site, with guests particularly enjoying the smooth white varieties and the relaxed outdoor tasting experience. The combination of equestrian activities and wine tasting creates a distinctive retreat that appeals to both animal lovers and wine enthusiasts.
The property provides practical amenities for RV and camper guests, including a level gravel parking area with electrical service available. The peaceful, quiet setting—surrounded by vineyard vistas, pastures, and pastoral views—makes it an ideal stop for travelers seeking rest and rejuvenation. The spacious grounds offer ample walking opportunities, and guests frequently mention the tranquility and sense of escape the location provides, even for those passing through en route to other destinations.
The hosts are consistently noted for their friendliness, welcoming nature, and responsiveness to guest needs. Visitors appreciate clear communication, helpful directions, and genuine hospitality that extends to accommodating special requests and sharing the story and passion behind both the equestrian center and winery operations.
