Experience the beauty and serenity of Albemarle County on horseback. Our 5-star private, guided horseback rides through vineyards and orchards in the Charlottesville, Virginia area is an experience unlike any other. Indian Summer Guide Service has built relationships with Charlottesville’s finest wineries, farms, and cideries in order to offer guests access to some of the most breathtaking properties in the region.

Hop on the saddle with your significant other, your family, or your friends – whoever you decide to bring, the experience is shaped around the desires of your group. Each of our private horseback rides is led by one of our knowledgeable guides, who will ensure your safety as well as your enjoyment. After the ride, make your way to the tasting room to enjoy locally crafted wines or ciders and stock up on your favorites.

We’re currently offering horseback rides at the venues listed below, each just minutes from Charlottesville. We can accommodate groups of 2-6 riders. Rides range from an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the venue you choose.  No experience is necessary. All riders must be in good physical health and weigh no more than 250 lbs. Rides are available daily and year round. Hours vary with each winery. The last ride will go out well before the tasting rooms closes, so you’ll be sure to get the full experience.
