We will go on an hour long ride through the fields, woods, and creeks with an experienced guide. This experience is perfect for new horseback riders and experienced riders looking for a relaxing day. The views along the ride will not disappoint you. After, we will drive to Bear Creek Winery, a great family friendly winery, surrounded by fantastic views of the Ozarks. We will enjoy a complimentary tasting of amazing red and white wines. After the tasting, they also have rustic pizza, smoked meats, cheese, and local chocolate for you to choose whatever your heart desires while we relax and socialize at their amazing space. If wine is not your drink of choice, they brew their own beer and it is fantastic!*All riders should be under 250 lbs"
