Area Activities

Many people who come to Highland Ranch are quite happy to ride, enjoy the grounds, relax and stay onsite. But if you're looking to step out, this part of Northern California is a treasure for folks who like an adventure - or just something a little different.

Local activities away from the ranch include wine tasting tours (www.avwines.com), golf, coastal sightseeing in the artist community town of Mendocino, botanical gardens, whale watching, sea kayaking (www.force10tours.com/) and sky diving. Details of numerous local farmer's markets, festivals and fairs can be found on www.mendocino.com and www.gomendo.com. And it's all within easy reach of Highland Ranch.
