While we welcome walk-ins for our Wine Tastings, Rhino encounters often book up weeks in advance due to their limited nature. We highly recommend securing your spot via our online booking system as soon as you plan your visit to avoid disappointment.

Yes. All guests participating in a Rhino & Wine Experiences must be 21 years of age or older. As these experiences are intimately paired with our premium wine tastings and involve behind-the-scenes access to a sensitive habitat, we require all participants to be of legal drinking age. Please ensure all members of your party have a valid government-issued ID available at check-in.

Because these are limited-capacity experiences that require specific staffing, we ask for at least 24 notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the opening to another guest on our waiting list.

To ensure your comfort and safety, we recommend the following:

• Closed-Toe Shoes (Required): For safety reasons, all guests participating in an encounter must wear closed-toe shoes (sneakers, boots, or hiking shoes). Sandals, flip-flops, or open-back shoes are not permitted behind the scenes.

• Comfortable, Outdoor Clothing: You will be moving through a natural habitat. We suggest comfortable, durable clothing that you don’t mind getting a little dusty.

• Weather-Appropriate Layers: The Texas Hill Country weather can vary. Check the forecast and bring a light jacket or sun protection (hats and sunglasses) as needed.

• Avoid Loose Accessories: To prevent distractions for Blake and ensure safety, please avoid wearing loose, dangling jewelry or long, flowing scarves during the encounter.

Because our encounters take place in a natural, working habitat, guests may be exposed to various environmental allergens. Please consider the following:

• Hay & Feed: Blake’s diet consists primarily of high-quality hay, which is present throughout the encounter areas. Guests with significant hay or grass allergies should take appropriate precautions.

• Environmental Allergens: You will be outdoors in the Texas Hill Country, where dust, native pollen, and seasonal grasses are common.

• Food Allergies: If your experience includes a chocolate pairing, please be aware that our artisan chocolates may contain or come into contact with milk, nuts, or soy. Please notify your host of any severe food allergies upon arrival.

We recommend that guests with known severe allergies bring any necessary medications (such as an inhaler or EpiPen) and consult with their physician before participating.
