Guides stress that the animals are treated well, noting that some of them are rescues. Annie, a striking white thoroughbred, did stunts in 'The Lord of the Rings.' If you want to see the giraffe up close, book the $95 tour, which also includes camels. The Explorer Tour, $65, includes sampling of six wines and a drive-by past Stanley, offering just a glimpse of the long-necked celebrity.
Stanley is such a hit that his inclusion in the tour merits a $30 surcharge. The land is a popular setting for weddings, with statuesque Stanley serving as a potential backdrop. Special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries often bring people to the tour - and the property in general. According to the company, the collection includes one of the yellow Volkswagen Microbuses used in the movie 'Little Miss Sunshine.' This is where we enjoyed crackers and a trio of tasty tapenades accompanying the final batch of wines. (Malibu Wine Safari's Instagram account is sprinkled with shots of celebs like Selena Gomez and a Kardashian casually nestled next to Stanley the giraffe.)Ī final stop showcases the property's quirks, such as Airstream trailers dotted around an animal-less area. Glasses are set atop barrels, and a huge yellow frame captures the view at an Instagram-friendly stopping point.
After visiting the wildlife, guests are treated to gorgeous vistas of the hills that double as a scenic backdrop for the wine.
