Your roughly 2-hour Malibu wine tasting and nature safari begins with a wild-animal encounter when you make your way to Saddlerock Ranch and meet three spunky zebras. Get ready for more furry friends ─ next you’ll see Saddlerock’s water buffalo family, alpacas, llamas, yaks and Scottish Highland cattle. Who knew serene, beachy Malibu could be so wild? The wild side is balanced by six wine tastings throughout the tour, from the Saddlerock and Semler Malibu Estate labels, paired with small bites that complement the wine.
Next up, hop in a safari truck to continue the adventure as your guide tells you about the ranch and the animals that inhabit it. Bust out your camera for a prime photo op at Saddlerock’s iconic art installation ─ a huge empty picture frame you can use to create your own family portrait, with sweeping views of Conejo Valley as your backdrop. Enjoy the dramatic landscape and fresh Southern California air.
Visit several film locations on Saddlerock’s property. It’s no surprise Hollywood chose this beautiful ranch for the background of some famous movies, as well as some high-profile weddings ─ among the celebs who have gotten married here are Don Henley, Lisa Kudrow, Kelsey Grammer and Jenna Fischer. The list of stars who have visited or filmed here is even longer:
Take a peek at Camp Cabernet, a quirky trailer park on the property, and then head over to meet a camel named Camille. Take in the views of the green pastoral hills one more time while enjoying your last sip of wine.
