Saddle Up & Sip:
Ride, Learn, Sip & Savour in South Okanagan
A truly immersive Indigenous wine country experience—where the journey is just as memorable as the destination.
Offered in exclusive partnership with Indian Grove Riding Stables and Nk’Mip Cellars, Saddle Up & Sip is a guided FULL-day adventure that invites you to experience the beauty, culture, and taste of the South Okanagan like never before.
Your journey begins with a warm welcome and coffee stop at Beef & Bean in Osoyoos. Here, you’ll enjoy a complimentary beverage and an engaging short film that offers insight into the deep cultural connection between the Syilx Okanagan people, the land, and the wild horses that roam it.
Next, it’s time to saddle up! Take in sweeping desert views as you embark on a guided horseback ride with Indian Grove Riding Stables, weaving through sagebrush trails and quiet hillsides—perfect for beginner and seasoned riders alike.
Then, head over to Nk’Mip Cellars, North America’s first Indigenous-owned winery, where you’ll enjoy a seated tasting of award-winning wines in a setting that blends culture, history, and exceptional winemaking.
