Picnic Ride

Enjoy a scenic horseback ride around the lake before you settle down for a charming picnic.

Experience the enchanting Picnic Ride at Alisal Guest Ranch, a perfect blend of horseback adventure and outdoor dining. This three-hour excursion, ideal for guests aged 7 and up, leads you to a peaceful lakeside spot or, if preferred and available, to the historic Adobe. As you ride, your lunch awaits in your saddlebags, featuring a custom-prepared sandwich, chips, fruit, and a chocolate chip cookie, with kid-friendly options like PB&J or ham and cheese. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of ranch life as you dine by the Lake House or up at Vista Point overlooking the Santa Ynez Valley, creating memories to cherish!
