After a long work week, the Malibu Wines Hike was the perfect opportunity to wind down. I've participated at many Malibu Wines events, and yesterday was my first time hiking with their group. It was even better than I expected! Our hiking lead, Marie, guided us around the scenic trails and hills of the breathtaking vineyard, where we frequently stopped for various photo opps at locations personally picked by the owners, and also had the opportunity to interact with the animals. Marie also pointed out a few movie and TV locations that were filmed on the property, plus we got to meet the beautiful and very graceful, white horse, Shadowfax who starred in the Lord of the Rings. Our hike included some adventure, too! We were able to climb and hang about in a 500-year-old tree, as well as the popular big yellow frame which presents a favorite view for the owners. After the hike, we were shuttled over to the tasting room, where a private table and a personal attendant were prepped and ready for our delightful flight of wine tasting. Our lead Marie was absolutely great! She was very personable, knowledgable, helpful, enthusiastic and seemed to be very passionate about her job and watching us enjoy the experience. I not only recommend this hike, but I'd do it again...and again..and again :)
