🌎 Our Impact

Because wine tastes even better when it gives back.

At Spirit Horse Vineyards, we believe every bottle should do more than delight the senses—it should make a difference.

Our wines are crafted with purpose, sourced from vineyards that reflect the beauty and bounty of their communities. But what truly sets us apart is what happens after the cork is popped: connection, conversation, and collective impact.

Whether it’s funding equine therapy for children, supporting mentorship programs for foster girls, or giving back to grassroots causes across the globe, every glass you raise with us helps create real, lasting change.

🍷 Wine With Heart

Through the generous support of our Wine Society members and customers, Spirit Horse has proudly donated thousands of dollars to organizations that uplift, empower, and heal.

From Napa to Oregon and beyond, our mission is simple:
Use wine as a force for good. Build community. Empower women. Support the next generation.

Let’s toast to that—and keep the good going.

Here’s to wine that matters. Salute! 🍷✨

PHILANTHROPY PARTNERS

Spirit Horse Riding Center: 💞 Philanthropy Partners

Healing begins in the saddle.

Founded in 2012 by Charlotte Dougherty, the Spirit Horse Riding Center is a 100% volunteer-powered, nonprofit equine therapy program located in Napa Valley. With heart-centered horsemanship at its core, the center provides inclusive lessons, camps, and classes for individuals of all ages facing developmental, emotional, physical, and social challenges.

🐎 How We Give Back

Spirit Horse Vineyards is proud to ride alongside this life-changing organization. We support the ranch by:
• Hosting fundraising events
• Donating 10% of net profits
• Sharing their story with our community—because healing is worth toasting to

When you sip with Spirit Horse, you’re helping someone rise in the saddle and thrive.
Now that’s wine with purpose.

🌸 Off the Vine Mentorship Program

Spirit Horse Vineyards also proudly powers Off the Vine—a leadership and empowerment initiative designed to help the next generation of girls THRIVE. This one-of-a-kind mentorship program combines equine therapy with guided support and community, offering foster girls a chance to build trust, develop self-worth, and grow into bold, brilliant young women.

Through the strength of the horse and the support of women who care, these girls experience something rare and lasting: belonging, belief, and a chance to dream bigger.

🍷 How Your Glass Gives Back

Every bottle you buy helps Spirit Horse Vineyards:
• Host fundraising events that fuel both programs
• Donate 10% of net profits to support therapy sessions and scholarships
• Create ongoing opportunities for women and girls to rise together

This is wine with a mission.
Sip. Support. Spark change.
