Weather is a major factor. If you have a sleigh ride booked, and the ground is to soft, a buggy ride will be substituted.
Please review the weather forecast for Fennville, Michigan. Dress appropriately for spending time outdoors, as well as at the wineries afterwards.
We’ve partnered with Wild West Horseback Riding to bring you this one-of-a-kind day trip. It’s an all-inclusive day of outdoor adventure, and vineyard views.
Each adventure starts with the horses and continues with three wineries and a gourmet lunch. Each tour is approximately 7 hours.
Our Saddles & Sips tour will include:
Carriage Rides
Indulge in year-round elegance with horse-drawn carriage rides through the picturesque countryside. Whether under the warmth of the sun or the magic of snowfall, these timeless journeys offer a tranquil escape, showcasing the rustic beauty of nature while creating cherished memories aboard the graceful carriage.
Carriage rides run approximately 45 minutes.
Carriage rides are booked in groups of two. Three guests can be accommodated in a single carriage ride as needed.
Horseback Riding
Embark on year-round horseback riding adventures, where the beauty of each season adds a new dimension to your Michigan experience. Explore lush trails, snow-covered landscapes, vibrant autumn foliage, and blossoming spring meadows while connecting with nature on horseback. The horses are very gentle and can accommodate those who have never ridden, to an experienced rider.
We can accommodate up to 7 riders, each guests having their own horse. Horseback riding is 1.5 hours.
NOTE: We need the accurate weight of all riders for safety reasons, please be honest. An additional charge will apply to riders over 200lbs.
Buggy Rides
When very wet or winter weather doesn't permit sleigh rides or carriage rides, or if horseback riding isn’t your thing, find equal satisfaction in horse-drawn buggy rides, perfect for any weather. Buggy rides are a great way to get out into the forest for a unique experience.
Buggy rides are booked in groups of two. Three guests can be accommodated in a single buggy ride as needed. Buggy rides run approximately 1 hour.
Sleigh Rides
Immerse yourself in a winter wonderland with enchanting horse-drawn sleigh rides. Glide through snow-covered landscapes, wrapped in cozy blankets, as the rhythmic jingle of bells and the gentle hooves of horses create a magical and timeless experience that captures the essence of the season.
Subject to availability and weather conditions, even if there is snow, the ground must be frozen to support the sleigh rails and provide you with a memorable experience.
Sleigh rides are booked in groups of two. Three guests can be accommodated in a single sleigh as needed.
Sleigh rides run approximately 45 minutes.
