Malibu Wine Hikes is the perfect morning or afternoon for anyone who loves wine tasting and loves to hike. Our guide was Joe, who was so nice, he really made the morning fun and interesting. Lots of unusual animals to see on the hike (zebras, giraffe, llamas, to name a few). The hike is not strenuous, so even if you do not hike regularly, you will enjoy this outing. When you book your hike, I recommend you purchase the cheese/crackers/chocolate box ($25) to enjoy with your wine tasting. The description says it is for 1 - 3 people, but it could easily feed 4 or 5. The wine tasting takes place about 3/4 of the way through the hike. You stop at a nice covered area with tables and chairs set up, wine glasses ready to be filled. Three wines to taste: white, rose, and red, all of which were very good. This is a perfect unique gift to give someone or to just go because you want a fun time hiking and drinking wine.

Greg Gilman was our tour guide.
He has done an excellent job. We were the one two in the hiking tour and he was very patient, spending lots time with us. Told us the history of the 12,000 + acres vine yard. Showed us all the different types of grapes, when is the harvest time, how the water system works……We walked by the barn and saw many different kind of animals. He int them by names!! We really enjoyed the expansive views, natural rock formations, and the historic Cave he took us to see of the Four Horsemen which holds Chumash Native American cave paintings.
We had an unforgettable and wonderful hiking tour with Greg.

We visited the venue this past weekend for a bday party. This wasn’t our first visit , pre covid we did the keep safari and it was amazing. Well safe to say everything even during a pandemic exceeded our expectations! Our hike tour guide was Will. He was very friendly, took pictures for our group, made jokes, he was awesome. Then Hailey was beyond awesome. We had our mothers with us and they couldn’t do the hike. Hailey charge and became the ultimate guide for our mothers. She held my aunts hand so she could make it up the hill till the jeep came and picked them up and showed them TLC from beginning to end. THANK YOU HAILEY !!

Malibu Wine Tours was a wonderful highlight of our May 2022 California Trip. Even the drive there, through the Malibu Mountains (Kanan Rd and Mulholland Rd) is incredible. Our guide Jeff, was fun and knowledgable. A "Stunt Man" by trade, Jeff operates the 4 Wheel Drive with great care and enthusiasm that accompanies his stories about the Malibu Hills, the vineyard, and his exciting personal life. The 4 by 4 tour included snacks, wine and plenty of photo opportunities. It's truly a relaxing and beautiful venue of 100s of California's most choice acres. 2 gorgeous weddings were on the huge property during our visit. As we drove the mountains and vineyards, we saw the bride and the gorgeous nuptials (from a non intrusive distance). It was something we will always remember. Malibu Wine Hikes is a lovely experience that needs to be part of any visit to the area.

I received this Wine Hike as a gift from the holidays. I wasn't a wine person but I did like hikes. Not knowing what to expect, I decided to invite a friend that I haven't spent time with in a while. DANG, this was truly a magical experience! Our tour guide, Maddi, was vibrant, knowledgeable about so many things wine and beyond, and passionate. The hike was a mix of easy and moderate where you can get your heart rate up just enough. The views outstanding, the treat at midway point a gift, and the beauty of the vineyard breathtaking. I immediately thought of my next time around!

We absolutely loved our VW wine tour with Kurt! We booked this experience to celebrate our mom’s 50th birthday and it did NOT disappoint. Kurt was extremely personable and kind, as well as the best hype man and photographer. We loved learning some history, getting to know Kurt, and enjoying the tasty wines as we sang our hearts out to popular jams while cruising in the van. We couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better tour guide, and we plan to request him the next time we go. Thank you again, Malibu Wine Hikes and Kurt! Best birthday celebration ever!

It would be living and working on this vineyard. This tour was amazing. I didn’t know hardly anything about wines or how they grew. The trouble the fires caused here in SoCal to wines. Maddi was a great tour guide, she didn’t hike too fast for us and told us all about the history of the area and the vineyard. Great hike!

We all had the most amazing time this weekend; Made extra, extra special by Kurt, our guide. We drank great wine, learned about the ranch, experienced fantastic views, and laughed the entire time; What more could you ask for? The entire group enjoyed every minute. Make a reservation. Ask for Kurt. And enjoy! We all cannot wait to return.

Took a valentine's day wine hike around the property and had a wonderful time. Such a perfect experience for an active, yet easy valentine's day date! Can't say enough about Stephanie, she was funny, entertaining, informative, and welcoming throughout it all. Beautiful views, cute animals, yummy snacks and delicious wine that came at just the right time. Looking forward to visiting Malibu Wine Hikes again & highly recommend!

Great guide, Jeff. Loved the variety of the walking spots. It is hilly and COVID restricted wine to a canned version mid walk and one to take home, though it was fine. Excellent chardonnay. Be sure to check weather from Agoura Hills, not Malibu. Big difference!

hi. I've read suggestions to take a small lunch for after the hike. is there places to store your lunch or would I need to carry it with throughout the hike?

You could leave food in a cooler in your car. The hike ends next to the parking lot. Before you shuttle to the wine tasting/picnic area, you'll have plenty of time to retrieve items from your car.

Hi! I am wondering if you had to do the giraffe hike to see the giraffes? or if the regular group hike shows the giraffe as well?
thanks so much!

We did the "wine hike" which included a tour of the grounds which included giraffes, zebras, llamas and all sorts of other animals who all seemed very well taken care and lovely. You might have to go online to choose your best option but the wine tasting at the end was great!

Does it make sense to do this hiking tour and also the safari tour? Are they similar? Will we see the same animals in both tours?
beachmomof3_9
Los Angeles, CA260 contributions
Yes they are very similar. I have done both and preferred the hike as you saw more. You basically see the same things as the safari but you also get to take fun pictures in a few really beautiful places like the “ billboard “ with the view and the big beautiful tree. We did the hike that included Stanley the giraffe. The wine tasting on our hike included a wine tasting at the outside area with live music and a food truck which was really fun. In the safari our wine tasting was in a pretty grass area surrounded by air stream trailers. You will see that same area on the hike

Hi, does anyone know of any transport that brings you close to the safari? We want to do the tour but are staying in West L.A. and with it including wine we are unable to drive. Thanks”

I see some reviews are saying they reserved a table how do you go about doing so?

The docent reserved our table. Some kind of agreement with the winery. They also seat tour folks in a separate (much less crowded and quieter) part of the property
How long does the wine hike session take?
Malibu W
5 contributions
Hey Wendy the hike is 2.5 miles and usually takes about 1.5 hours. The wine tasting portion takes an additional 15-30 minutes.
Hope that helps!
Can I leave my boots somewhere so I can change after hike?

Yes we have a storage closet where you check in for the hike. Any bags or shoes can be left here during the hike or during the wine tasting. Give us a call at 424-346-0041 if you have any other questions.
Cheers!
