Malibu Wine Hikes at Saddlerock Ranch

Malibu Wine Hikes offers a unique way to explore the scenic Saddlerock Ranch, nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains. Founded in 2015 by Shane Semler, the tours combine outdoor adventure with wine tasting, providing an unforgettable experience. The 1,100-acre ranch boasts diverse landscapes, from rolling vineyards to natural rock formations and the historic Cave of the Four Horsemen, featuring Chumash Native American cave paintings dating back to the 1700s. The guided hikes, which are approximately 2.5 miles, are designed to be easy to moderate, making them accessible to a wide range of fitness levels. Along the way, you'll encounter the ranch's four-legged residents, including horses, llamas, alpacas, donkeys, goats, and sheep. Some tours even include a visit with Stanley the Giraffe, a celebrity in his own right. The tour guides share insights into the ranch's history, the winemaking process, and the local ecosystem. After the hike, guests can enjoy a complimentary wine tasting of Semler and Saddlerock wines. The ranch also features whimsical art installations and sculptures, adding to the unique ambiance. For those seeking alternative experiences, Malibu Wine Hikes also offers 4x4 vineyard tours and vintage VW bus tours.
