ROADWORKS ALERT: Due to ongoing roadworks and with the festive season starting, please expect delays of up to 40min. We recommend setting your arrival time (on Google Maps) for 40min prior to your booking time starting, which should give you the longest time it will take. Please be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before your time slot begins to ensure your indemnity is completed and you receive the safety briefing.
Any riders arriving late will forfeit time out of their booking. A minimum of 2 riders is required for a ride to go out. Group size limited to 15 riders. For larger parties, please contact us so we can accommodate your needs. No under 8’s on horses. This service is weather dependent. All of our trails are led by experienced guides, ensuring a safe and memorable experience. We are conscious about the environment, we respect nature and adhere to strict operating guidelines to protect the amazing space we operate in.
We do not allow any rider over 95kg on a horse, or any rider over 110kg on a quad bike, and reserve the right to put a rider on a scale should we feel that they are over the weight limit. If you are over the weight limit when making the booking you will not be liable for a refund.
The Horse Drawn Carriage is a great option for persons over 100kg, but we do need to be notified in advance to ensure there is space on our carriage.
All riders are required to wear a helmet. Helmets are tight fitting; please note that wigs or extensions can cause the helmets to not fit. Therefore, we request that all riders have their hair in a practical hairstyle when coming for horse or quad bike riding as no one will be allowed out without a helmet. If you have any concerns about the above restriction, we recommend booking a carriage ride and/or a glamorous photoshoot instead.
Participants will not be allowed to take part in any activity if any of the following are not adhered to:
I warrant that I’m free of any drugs and / or alcohol.
Indemnity forms must be completed with the same particulars as per ID or passport document.
Valid ID, Passport, or driver’s license must be supplied on arrival.
No bad behavior or foul language will be tolerated.
Absolutely fantastic! I loved horse riding through the vineyards, Michelle and the team at Wine valley Adventures were amazing and explained everything to me as a beginner and I felt really comfortable and safe the whole time. I also only found out about the horse riding last minute and the team at Wine Valley Adventures were so helpful, they organised everything and were able to fit it round my schedule, I was booked on the Wine tram which departs at certain times so they adjusted the times so I could still do the horse riding and not miss my tram. Thank you for a fabulous time! - Erika
We did the tour with our two daughters of 12 and 15. They really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful experience, riding the horses in a stunning environment. Very good guides as well. We were inexperienced, but it all went very smooth - Rick
