Scenic Trail Ride & Private Cellar Collection Tasting Experience at Jacob's Creek

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Barossa Valley with our Scenic Trail Ride & Private Curated Tasting Experience—a perfect combination of outdoor adventure and premium wine indulgence.

Your experience begins with a 1.5-hour guided experience at a relaxed pace through the picturesque vineyards of Jacob’s Creek. This extended ride is ideal for those who are looking for more time in the saddle, whether you’re a first-time rider or simply seeking a unique way to explore the Barossa landscape. Along the way, enjoy sweeping vineyard views and plenty of photo opportunities.

Your ride is led by the expert team from Hallmark Farm, home to Dual Olympian Megan Jones—an Equestrian Hall of Fame member, Olympic Silver Medallist (one of only 1,047 Australians to have ever won a team Olympic medal), and World Championship Bronze Medallist in Aachen, Germany. Megan’s world-class expertise ensures a safe and memorable experience for every guest.

Please arrive at least 20 minutes prior to your scheduled start time for check-in and a comprehensive safety briefing. This extra time allows us to provide detailed guidance and ensure you feel confident and comfortable before setting off.

After your scenic ride, indulge in a specially Curated Premium Tasting in the Private Wine Lounge—crafted to showcase the pinnacle of Barossa winemaking. Begin with a glass of sparkling wine and a guided vineyard tour, then retreat to the elegant Private Wine Lounge for a premium tasting experience, perfectly paired with a seasonal cheese plate.
