Margarita Adventures: Additional Zip Lines For Added Adventure
Margarita Adventures launches its epic 1,800 foot zipline over Pinot Noir vines in Paso Robles Wine Country, creating a fifth adventure line for individuals to soar down. The new 1,800 foot “Pinot Express” zipline at Margarita Adventures begins atop a mountainside forest at 125 feet above ground, then sends guests swooping low right over Pinot Noir vines at the historic Santa Margarita Ranch in the Paso Robles Wine Country on California’s Central Coast.
“There’s nothing else like it in the zipline world,” said Proprietor Karl Wittstrom. “It feels like you can almost touch the tops of the vines on your way down.” The Pinot Express joins four previous ziplines as part of Margarita Adventures’ acclaimed zipline canopy tours. The Pinot Express is now the highest, longest and fastest zipline on the tours. The cost of the tours remains the same at $99 per person. “You can taste wines from vines that you just zipped over,” Wittstrom said. “It’s a fitting reward for your adventure.” For more information, visit http://www.Margarita-Adventures.com.
