Your journey begins in a charming medieval hamlet in the Chianti hills, home to the stables and surrounded by peaceful countryside. After a gentle introduction, each guest is paired with a horse suited to their experience level.
Your guide will tailor the pace to each rider’s comfort—those with experience may enjoy guided moments at a canter, while beginners ride at a calm walk, with occasional gentle trotting if desired.

Midway through the ride, you’ll arrive at a family-run winery nestled among the vines.

A light Tuscan lunch crafted with local, zero-kilometer ingredients completes the moment, offering a seamless blend of nature, cuisine, and tradition. The tasting is integrated into the ride itself, making it a true celebration of Chianti’s flavors and landscapes.
After lunch, you’ll continue your ride through the countryside and return to the medieval hamlet where the experience began. It’s a peaceful and memorable place to say goodbye to your horse, take final photos, or simply soak in the beauty of the surrounding hills.
Every element of this tour has been designed to offer authenticity, connection, and a profound sense of place.
