OUR IMPACT

Our mission is to create a world where incredible wine and giving back go hand in hand.

We think of Spirit Horse wine as a vehicle for connection and community. Our intention is to spur special shared experiences and use them as a catalyst for positive change. Our wines are not only delicious, but also support the local communities from which the grapes are sourced.

Spirit Horse Vineyards has proudly donated thousands of dollars to causes around the world. Sales from our wines have helped provide equine horse therapy to children in need, mentorship to foster girls and so much more.

Let's raise a glass and change the world. Salute!
