Enjoy all Oregon has to offer by horseback, complete with wine tastings and beach riding. During this riding tour in the Pacific Northwest you will stay in comfortable inns starting in the burgeoning wine country of Willamette Valley, and continue through the Coastal Range mountains to end on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. This is a point-to-point ride that has both adventure and luxury with wine tastings and riding through vineyards, ascending forested mountain trails, and galloping on the beach! The hosts and their horses provide a unique European feel while still maintaining the west coast sense of adventure.
Accommodation is in small bed & breakfasts or private condos or rental homes, all with generous hospitality and a great feel for the Pacific Northwest.
Breakfast at the accommodations, picnic lunches and three dinners are included. All meals are farm-fresh and local, including seafood on the coast. Two wine tastings are also included, depending on interest.
Your hosts are wonderful trainers and riders and have a knack for picking both sturdy and talented horses for the trail. You will most likely ride more than one horse during the trip.
The trip begins in McMinnville and ends in Neskowin, Oregon. Transfers from Portland are an additional cost.

The three of us that took this ride were very impressed with the ride itself, the accommodations, food, and with how we were treated as guests by the hosts! It was a fabulous experience!! The guides were terrific in providing instruction, the scenery was beautiful, and the horses were great. What I really loved about this ride was the diversity of riding—3 days in the Coastal range (and each mountain we were on had something different about it), a day riding on the beach and in the water; and two days in the vineyard countryside . The places we stayed were outstanding (best accommodations I have ever had on a ride) and we were taken to special restaurants for dinner.
For many reasons, I think this was THE BEST RIDE I have been on!
