When a friend mentioned llama trekking, I had no idea what to expect. But animals were involved, so of course I was game!! When Chantel and Barry visit, we have to pack a lot of fun in the trip. Day 1 – Llama trekking at Divine Llama Vineyards in East Bend, NC. Add our friends Patty (Happy Birthday trip!!!) and Cathy and off we go while mom stays back at camp to babysit her granddog.Â
We arrive at a fledgling vineyard which also has llamas!! 95 acres with about as many llamas. We stopped by for a wine tasting, then walked up the hill to check out the llamas before our trek. Oops, we were late so caught a ride up the hill on the Gator. And so the trek began. Mike, who owns the llama portion of this enterprise, talked to us all day long about llamas, even sharing reasons why llamas are better than alpacas. Such an incredible wealth of information! He gave us the rules of the trek – mainly, keep a llama distance between your llama and the one in front. If you fail to do this and one llama runs up the butt of the other, well, let’s just say there might be some spitting going on!!!Â
If you are looking for a unique and fun outing, please check out Divine Llama Vineyards. It’s amazing!Â
