Someone please tell me where I can make this happen. It sounds like a blast!!
had one mare that every trail ride was a whiny trail ride, each step away from the trailer was another she knew she had to take to get back
Winery trail ride as in stopping at different wineries and riding to each one? I know of one in Melbourne , Australia 
Looked like they used drafts or draft crosses aka big comfy couches . lol

That sounds like a blast!!
Step 1: purchase saddle bags
Step 2: purchase wine
Step 3: put wine in saddle bags
Step 4: attach saddle bags to your saddle; mount horse
Step 5: drink wine as you ride

Haha, maybe the mare knew about that mountain lion near the vineyard in California that attacked the child the other day. We warmbloods would be whining also, whining “take our owner please, not us.” (Warmbloods drink mulled wine in winter at parties, so bring enough wine for your horses.)
There’s a couple that take place here in Washington, over on the east side. One woman does it like an outfitter and charges a pretty penny let me tell you. It was featured on a local show ‘Northwest Backroads’ and she does it all, has the horses, guest rooms, leads the ride to the one winery they visit and it costs @ $1,200.
However, one of the BCHW chapters has an annual winery ride, but you bring your own horse and you ride to several wineries - the cost is only what it costs to drive out there, food for you and your equine partner, and your accommodations, which usually consist of your camper or LQ.
There are a few in the Willamette Valley Oregon (south of Portland). There is also a place offering trail rides from the winery to the ocean. Also, eastern WA has a lot of wineries and horses. Here is a Willamette Valley offering:
One of the hunt clubs near me hosts one every year in the Niagara wine region. Lots of fun!
I think they do some in the Temecula Valley
There are several here in the North Bay/Napa/Sonoma area.
