Grapevine Canyon
Ranch

Located in the heart of Southern Arizona's Apache country, Grapevine Canyon Ranch is a guest and working cattle ranch with an emphasis on horseback riding, horsemanship, and vacation western style.

Grapevine has been welcoming guests year-round for nearly 20 years and has developed a philosophy of providing personal attention. Guests are welcomed as part of the ranch family, and feelings of safety, comfort, and timelessness are nurtured. Ranch buildings, nestled among plentiful groves of Arizona oak, manzanita, and mesquite, are almost invisible in the wooded canyon, where wild grapevines give the ranch its name.

Your experience at Grapevine Canyon Ranch can best be summed up as "rugged outside, but pampered inside" -- meaning that while the grounds and lodge buildings reflect the feeling and air of the Old West, the lodging accommodations are first class, with many amenities found only in excellent hotels. Casitas (suites) and cabins are cozily appointed and fresh -- virtually sparkling in appearance. Grapevine's housekeeping staff prides itself on cleanliness, winning the daily battle to keep the desert sand outside.

The meals at Grapevine Canyon Ranch, served in the main dining room, are exactly as Grandma would have cooked them -- tasty, plentiful, and real, with everything homemade. The kitchen staff is excellent, with years of experience and a culinary degree among them to their credit. Breakfast is cooked to order, while lunch and dinner are served buffet-style. Helpings are generous, and seconds and thirds are encouraged. Guests and staff dine together, furthering the Grapevine philosophy of personal attention that guests come back for time and time again.

At an elevation of 5,000 feet, you'll enjoy pleasant summer temperatures and low humidity. The valley, canyons, and mountains surrounding Grapevine Canyon Ranch are rich in history -- Cochise, Geronimo, outlaws, the calvary, early settlers -- and the staff is well versed in local culture and color. There are beautiful trails to hike, old Indian village sites and ghost towns to explore, many species of birds to watch, and plenty of sightseeing, with Tombstone, Bisbee, and Old Mexico nearby.

After a day of riding or sightseeing, relax in the swimming pool and hot tub or enjoy a game of darts or horseshoes. The Buffalo Room is the place for an evening of games and entertainment, with card, pool, and ping-pong tables at hand. The Buffalo Room adjoins the Video Room, where you will find a large-screen television, video player, and extensive film library. Lucky to have a "singing" cowboy, the ranch invites guests to enjoy live country music and dancing each week.

Come retreat from city life at Grapevine Canyon Ranch...how the west was once, and still is.

Let's Ride!

Guests have several options for riding, with a varied 7-day-a-week programs and rotating destinations.

• 
  Monday through Saturday, the schedule offers 4 rides: a morning trail ride, an advanced, an all-day, and afternoon trail ride.
• On Saturday, for an additional fee, guests can participate in our team penning, which has proven to be great fun for guests.
• On Sunday, the trail and advanced rides converge at the cattle ranch headquarters for a cookout under the trees and a short stop for some fun on horseback with our horseback games, before heading "home."
• Group lessons are available Monday - Saturday mornings before the regular rides. Private lessons are scheduled on an as-requested basis Monday - Friday and involve an additional cost.

The wranglers are all knowledgable horse people from a variety of disciplines, and Grapevine's riding instructor has both public and private teaching experience with riders of all levels.

• Two days a week, guests can saddle up, ride and participate in the various ranch activities with the cowboys from the cattle ranch.
• There are 4 roundups per year.
• Pack trips and off-ranch Adventure Rides are also available.
• For people wanting to learn more about horsemanship and horse ownership, Grapevine Canyon Ranch offers a week-long Horse Camp.
• And for those guests that want something completely different, sign up for our Cow Camp. Learn how to rope, herd and sort cattle, and then the real fun begins with a mini cattle drive. Camp out with the cowboys.
