SANTA MARGARITA ZIPLINE FIELD GUIDE
Above the Vineyard: Six Ziplines Across Santa Margarita Ranch
A 2.5-hour guided zipline circuit that sends you over 7,800 feet of cable — including a 2,800-foot valley crossing and an 1,800-foot vineyard overflight — with optional winery tasting at Ancient Peaks.
Above the Vineyard: Six Ziplines Across Santa Margarita Ranch.
At Margarita Adventures you cut a fast, silent line across the rolling acres of Santa Margarita Ranch in Paso Robles wine country. The operator stages a sequence of six ziplines totaling more than 7,800 feet, starting with an epic 2,800-foot valley crossing and concluding with a long, low flight above working vineyard blocks; along the route guides frame the ranch’s sustainable viticulture, its varied wildlife habitats and its place on California’s Mission Trail.

What the tour feels like
The flow is deliberate — a short orientation and harnessing, then a sequence of launches that alternate long, fast valley crossings with shorter, technical lines. Speeds vary with line length and grade; the longest runs produce sustained, exposed flight over vineyard rows and open valleys while guides interpret the landscape and ranch practices at each landing.
