Harvest time ushers in new season for Sailing Horse
Vineyards
 Now that Sailing Horse has celebrated three Summers
of sharing the family farm with area tourists, Owners, Debi and Rick Gibbens are
adjusting ‘open’ hours to ‘by appointment only’ for
complementary wine tastings and vineyard/winery tours.
Sailing Horse
wines will continue to be available every Saturday morning during
Sept-Oct at the Muskogee and Tulsa (Pearl) Farmers markets, as well as
other seasonal events (see below). We will continue working with the OK wine
industry and legislature to modernize our laws to be more consumer-friendly than
vineyard-based winery and other events currently provide.
This change in
public hours will not preclude Sailing Horse’s continued participation in
area festivals, farmers markets and special fundraising events
allowed under their winery permits. Sailing Horse welcome groups or
organizations who want to reserve and use the winery as a
unique venue for special events, family occasions, corporate retreats and
receptions, which entail facility rental/wine and numerous optional amenities.
Appointments/reservations can be made via
website contact form or by
calling Rick at 918 618 4824.

There’s More to This Winery Than Wine ...
 Among
the growing network of farms and ranches who strive to connect lake area
visitors with the farming and ranching traditions, Sailing Horse offers visitors
a personal connection to the simplicity and ‘earthiness’ of a farm, combined
with its the best of adjoining beaches, water and the vast other natural
resource of Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma’s largest lake!
In an area dominated by water attractions, Sailing Horse offers the
best of both worlds, connecting folks with agricultural heritage which
existed long before man built a vast beautiful lake here.
 At Sailing Horse, we share the ‘new’ agrarian experience, wine and other rural
lifestyle products through our tourist-friendly farm situated on the sandy
shores of Lake Eufaula, OK. Although the vineyards and a winery are the
centerpiece, you will also get an excellent example of sustainable and
environmentally sensitive farming approach that are reflected in the vineyard
cultivation, habitat development and protective treatment of livestock and wild
life. |
