California Wine Country
The diverse beauty of Sonoma is experienced as Equitrekking’s Emmy nominated host and equestrian travel expert Darley Newman horseback rides through Redwoods, a vineyard, crashing waves on Northern California beaches and the golden meadows of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. Darley fulfills many people’s dream by taking a beach ride on the dramatic Northern California Coast. Darley ventures among ‘old souls’ through the giant Redwoods of Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve on an eco-tour with naturalist Laura Ayers, whose intimate knowledge comes from growing up among these trees and raising and training Quarter Horses. At a local vineyard known for colorful equestrian history and award-winning Cabernets, Darley horseback rides through rows of grapes to learn about the art of wine making. Darley takes a bike tour through the small-town Sonoma. Equitrekking ends the episode with a sunset ride through the golden grasslands and colorful madrones of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, with stunning views of Napa and Sonoma Valleys.
