Horse Friendly Wineries
Join the "Wine Club" today at one of these wineries and become a VIP!
Danza del Sol Winery Newly remodeled tasting room. Enjoy a picnic lunch with a bottle of their wine on the expansive patio. Dog & Equestrian friendly with a hitching rail to tie your horses. You can ride on Camino Del Vino then turn on Via El Pais Bonita go half way around the “Horse Shoe” road and ride next to the vineyards to reach this winery. Mary Knight is the manager and she requests that manure be placed in the large field surrounding the hitching area. The picnic tables outdoors will allow you to monitor the horses while you relax. There is a staging area to park horse trailers, as you pull in the driveway make an immediate sharp left and drive along the vineyard service road that parallels De Portola. You can park in this wide dirt area, if you call ahead for permission, but take your manure home with you. Tasting room open Friday through Monday 11:00 – 6:00 p.m. Danzadelsolwinery.com or call (951) 302-6363, 39050 De Portola Road, Temecula
Leonesse Cellars Winery Absolutely gorgeous winery! The main tasting room is beautiful and the patio and grass area overlook the vineyard. Plenty of parking for horse trailer group rides including a safe hitching rail area. Riding Horses around the grapes along the service roads is just breath taking…one of my favorite wine rides. Manure can be placed in the large trash dumpster near the hitching rail or put back in your trailer and disposed of at home. Open for wine tasting daily from 11:00 – 5:00 p.m. Leonessecellars.com or call (951) 302-7601. 38311 De Portola Road, Temecula

- Wilson Creek Winery Visited by the Eq-"WIne" Rider's leadership team for lunch we found the food, service and atmosphere of the Creekside Grille to be FABULOUS!!!! Nestled at the end of Rancho California Road in Temecula Valley lies their family estate vineyard and winery. When the Wilson family acquired a 20-acre winery in 1996, their intentions were simple. They wanted to run a fun, family business producing great wines from the conducive climate and soil of the Temecula Valley. Hitching rails are located over the hill at the far end of the main parking lot. It's quite a distance from the winery, so someone should monitor the horses that are tied. For now you may toss manure into the open field nearby or take it home in your horse trailer, as parking is available for rigs. Open Daily from 10AM - 5PM. 35960 Rancho California Rd., Temecula, CA 92591 951.699.WINE (9463) | www.wilsoncreekwinery.com

As you ride up the entry road watch for the trail to the ties. The owner's Steve and Valarie have cut a trail through the vineyard and over the hill, right to a secluded tie area. It's a bit of a steep walk up to the tasting room, but well worth the effort, there are few views like this one anywhere in the valley. Breathtaking location to sit and enjoy a bottle of wine and share some time with your trail partners. There is no trailer parking at this winery, but will surely make a destination for everyone to enjoy.
As a special treat, take home a bottle of Avocado Oil; Toasted Onion, Roasted Garlic, and Chipotle.

Frangipani Estate Winery
Had a meeting with Don Frangipani and Chris Vienna
Hitching posts look great, I thanked them very much for their efforts to build the equine presence in the Temecula Valley. Currently they have some debris in the way that they will move and plan to clear more land around the posts. They appreciated the halter, lead rope, muck bucket and rake. They look forward to having our horse friends come by and enjoy their facility and wine. They want us to leave the manure in the bucket. Their people will empty it for us so we don't need to worry about that. Frangipani Winery 39750 De Portola Road Temecula, CA 92592-9024 Phone: (951)699-8845

The information below pertains to all wineries, PLEASE READ.
Some Temecula Wineries that currently have safe and sturdy hitching rails are; Keyways, Maurice Carrie, Robert Renzoni, Wilson Creek, Leonesse, Baily, Danza Del Sol, South Coast, Cougar, Frangipani, Oak Mountain and Masia De Yabar Wineries. They welcome horses, but prefer a call ahead for groups larger than five. Also call ahead if you are trailering in as not all wineries can accomodate rigs. Please clean up after your horses and dispose of the manure as indicated on each winery description. Do not leave horses unattended, do not ride between the vines (ALWAYS on the service roads) and be courteous to the staff and guests who may not be "horse savvy." Do not ride right in front of the winery, as any manure droppings are offensive to some guests. If you notice "road apples" please pick them up, even if they are not from your animals, this is the single most common complaint from the wineries. Remember, they are BUSINESSES with weddings and special events planned all the time. Do not ride to a winery without the intent to make a purchase, just as all other visitors. Never bring alcoholic beverages from home to a winery to drink, you will be asked to leave. If you do not buy wine you can buy water, soda, snacks, gift shop items, etc.
The wineries expect that horseback riders are also "customers!" To ride there is a privilege that they are willing to allow for this reason.
