This tour was the best! The guide Olivia took us through the stallion barn where we saw some of the most beautiful stallions that were all top notch. Her passion for the horses was obvious as she told us about each one and about their distinct personalities. Her explanation of the breeding operation and the daily life of these stallions was so informative. The shuttle tour of the beautiful farm was also very enjoyable with Olivia and Ann providing more information about how the foals and mares are cared for. Seeing this behind the scenes operation will make watching racing much more enjoyable for me. I would recommend this tour to everyone who has any interest in thoroughbred horses.

The stature of this establishment is Impressive. Wandering around the gardens, visiting the goats (with the option of doing rooftop yoga with them!) and other farm animals stressing the farm-to-table style in all ways! The menu changes depending on availability of items, but is deliciously eclectic, especially with their infused vodkas from local distilleries making the Best Bloody Marys Ever! Can’t wait to visit again.
