Ancient Peaks Winery sits on a vast sustainable ranch in Paso Robles, California, and invites guests to discover its surrounding nature and adventures while trying delicious wines. While wines perfectly capture the terroir, activities offered provide opportunities for visitors to get outside and explore the area.
At Ancient Peaks’ Santa Margarita Ranch, visitors can soar above mountains, pinot noir vines, oak woodlands and more on a 7,500-foot zip line course. Explore six different zip lines. One zip line lets you fly tandem with your best friend beside you. After flying, head to the ground for a walk over the canyon on the narrow 300-foot suspension bridge.
Embark on a guided horseback ride, which goes through lush creek beds, open fields with stunning views, oak and pine forests, and much more. Travelers even get to ride past a bald eagles’ nest and maybe even catch a glimpse of the majestic animal.
Learn the art of foraging on a tour with Ranch Naturalist Jacqueline Redinger. Throughout the tour, she’ll highlight different plants that can be used for nutrition and share foraged food recipes.
Vacation Rentals
After a full day of adventures, sit back and relax with a glass of wine at one of Ancient Peaks’ charming accommodations. Smaller groups should check out The Stampede Loft or The Buckaroo Flat, while bigger groups will love The 8-Mile House.

Oct 7, 2026Review: Prestige Oceanfront Resort
Vancouver Island gets progressively wilder as you leave Victoria behind and follow the coastline west. By the time you reach Sooke, about 45 minutes from the provincial capital, city blocks have surrendered to forests, rocky shoreline, sheltered coves and long views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Prestige Oceanfront Resort rises directly above Sooke Harbour, where boats move across the basin, and the Olympic Mountains form the horizon beyond the strait.

With points, status, partnerships, bonuses, and the ongoing question of whether they are actually worth your time and effort, it’s hard to keep track of all the moving parts.
