Ride a tram across working ranchland to meet kangaroos, zebras, camels and friendly goats—then return to the tasting room for four wine samples. This 90-minute private tour blends animal encounters with Hill Country wine culture and practical ranching rhythms.

You step from the tasting room onto sun-warmed gravel and a Brand New Zebra Tram waits, low and bright against the wide Texas sky. The tram moves slowly across pasture where longhorns chew and curious kangaroos peer at visitors; the landscape feels raw and deliberately open, grass and limestone hills pushing the view to the horizon.
