The Way The West Was Once

There is a place working its magic in the last remnants of the original wild west. It is a place where time stands still and the quiet, peace and tranquility envelope you the minute you pass through the gate. The place is Grapevine Canyon Ranch and if you fancy the best horse riding vacation ever, you should not hesitate and book now.

I was a guest at Grapevine for the first time in April 2003 and I have been back dozens of time sense. Each time I discover something new and I always leave with a renewed sense of self and an appreciation for this wonderful, unique corner of the world.

The horses at Grapevine are the most gentle, intuitive animals one could ever hope to encounter. They are sure footed and no matter what your experience level in riding is, your horse will be given will suit you -- the talented, caring wranglers will make sure of that. If you have never ridden before and may be hesitant about the whole thing, fear not, there are trails for every level of riding expertise.

When riding or even just hiking around this beautiful land, you will definitely work up an appetite. The food at Grapevine is second to none. All of the meals are cooked from scratch and they are heaven to the palette.

Grapevine has something for everyone. Have a look at their activities and events and judge for yourself. One thing is certain, once you arrive, you will never want to leave. When you do leave, you will be counting the days until you are back.
