Explore the authentic heart of Tuscany away-from-the-crowds and off-beaten-path: explore the gorgeous Chianti hillside on horseback! The horseback riding in Tuscany tour is available for a small group (maximum 8) of select guests. It leads you through pristine woods and fields, into country estates and wineries, allowing you to discover Tuscany’s heart and soul.
Enjoy the privilege of uncovering Tuscany’s most genuine beauty in a small group, surrounded by a superb natural environment and soft country sounds.
Depart downtown Florence aboard our minivan in the morning, for a pleasant 25 minute drive to the nearby hillside.
Upon arrival meet your horse and have a brief overview lesson with your English-speaking escort, a horse pro, and then get ready to experience a horseback riding near Florence!
Once you feel sound and confident set off for a leisurely and easygoing 1-hour ride led by your local guide.
Ride along pastures and neatly groomed fields, hear the breeze caress the olive trees and admire verdant vineyards, and reach the first winery in a noble countryside estate. This is an ancient and renowned winery estate completely renewed but still operating with ancient methods.
Then, left the horses and back on the van, set off for the second visit: a small, boutique winery, in which you will explore the tiny amazing cellar where their exceptional wines are produced.
Learn all about wine production techniques, and the secrets that lie behind the most precious blends.
At the end of the tour savor a typical Tuscan wine-pairing lunch: specialty local dishes served paired with the extraordinary blends of the winery you visited.
