TIPS TO ENJOYING THE WORLD’S MOST EXCITING SPORT
  • Upon arrival, park your car well behind the boards (50 feet or more).  Vehicles are welcome to park “tailgate style” around the field or in the parking lot near the winery. Please do not park your car on the grass around the winery.
  • Bring chairs, blankets and shade; popup tents and umbrellas are welcome. Be sure to set up a safe distance from the field (at least 30ft).
  • Due to ABC laws, NO ALCOHOL other than King Family wine is PERMITTED.   Please respect this policy and allow time to visit the Tasting Room to taste and purchase a bottle of wine.  Those who violate this policy put Sunday polo matches in jeopardy and will be asked to dump other alcohol.
  • ALL dogs must be on a leash at all times. Watch the match at all times as the ball, and horses, come over the boards throughout play.
  • For the safety of children and other spectators, limit your speed to 10 mph and remain on designated road when entering and exiting (no cutting across the grass).

The 2010 season is here!  Polo runs Memorial Day weekend through September (sometimes into the first few weeks of October just depending on the weather).  Matches are scheduled EVERY Sunday during this time, weather and field conditions permitting.  We will post updates here and on our voice recording.  Since weather is a factor, match updates may be called as late as the morning of the match. 

CURRENT MATCH UPDATE:  The match for Sunday, September 5th is on as scheduled.

Matches begin at 1:30pm and typically last about two hours.

Matches may be cancelled depending on field conditions, rain, excessive heat or any number of reasons. Please visit this site on Sunday morning to see updates and cancellations.
