Malibu Wine Safari 

  With Malibu Country Mart Join us on this adventure that provides a great way to experience a completely different side of Los Angeles! Today we explore the 1,000 acre Saddlerock Ranch and Vineyard that is nestled in the scenic hills of Malibu. Board custom-built open-air Safari vehicles with a trusty guide-driver team aboard for a 90-minute animal and wine-tasting safari. We will make stops along our journey to take in the scenery, taste local wines and get up close and personal with animals you never knew were Angelinos too! Many of the exotic animals, who all welcome you with open “hooves,” came to the Ranch to retire after successful careers in Hollywood: zebras, camels, alpacas, bison and more. All the wines that you will be tasting are sourced from local vineyards, featuring the tastes and flavors of the casual wine-making culture alive in the Santa Monica Mountains. You may wander about the grounds enjoying the scenic surroundings as you sip and savor each wine and enjoy tasty accompaniments. For those who do not drink wine, water and lemonade can be provided if notice is given with your reservation. Preceding the safari, enjoy time at leisure for lunch on your own at the Malibu Country Mart – a pleasantly informal, yet trendy, outdoor shopping and dining complex where the celebrities often dine.
