How and When Will I Get to The Ranch?

RBR is located at 200 South Refugio Road, Santa Ynez, California. Upon arrival at the ranch, enter the gate (gate instructions will be sent prior to your arrival). Continue straight. When you reach the second pond follow the signage labeled “Private Guests Only” to head left across the white bridge. Continue around the pond where our team will be waiting to greet you. Ample parking is available on site.

What about Food? 

Food may be provided at your workshop. We have worked to meet each guest’s dietary needs as outlined during the registration process. We are sourcing local ingredients and vendors of the highest quality and can't wait to share all the Valley has to offer in terms of clean, local cuisine!

Sample Menu-

Breakfast: Local Coffee, Cold Bar (Yogurt, Fruit), Local Pastries

Lunch: Local Taco Truck

Dinner: Homemade Pasta Bar, Fiesta Night, All-Ranch Cookout

What Should I Wear

Our ranch dress code is what some around here call "Valley Casual." Others call it "Coastal Cowgirl." We say "Come As You Are, but come wearing boots and jeans.”

Boots: We have a very strict closed-toe shoe policy. All ranch guests must wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, preferably boots. We have a limited number of boots available to borrow. If you'd like to borrow a pair, please indicate your size and need when completing the Pre-Arrival Questions..

Jeans and Long Sleeves: Jeans and long sleeves are required when riding and interacting with the animals. Not only will this protect you from the California Sun, but it's just plain good advice for visiting a ranch.

Hat: If you forget your hat, you will wish you had not. So go ahead and set out this necessary ranch accessory now. Any style hat will do.

Layers: Guests will likely experience three of the four seasons each day at the ranch. So don't leave home without a jacket, sweatshirt, or sweater.

Preferred Riding Gear: While we have riding gear for borrowing, if you have your own, you may choose to bring it. Helmets are required for riding, and we have range of sizes available in our borrow collection

Reading Glasses: As required.

Are there other activities available?

The Spanish phrase "la ñapa" or "la yapa" means "a bonus" or "something extra".

LA ÑAPA at RBR is a thoughtfully curated collection of experiences that have been selected to support you as a learner while you are here at the Ranch. A LA ÑAPA experience is meant to be an extension of what’s happening, as we say, “In the Corral.”

Join in for even more joy with LA ÑAPA.
