Overview

No previous riding experience is required.
The guests will have the chance to escape from the city crowd and experience the authentic Florence life style held on the worldwide known Chianti region
A one-of-a-kind approach to our horses will allow even the novice riders to naturally enjoy the rolling hills near Florence and after the ride the wine and gourmet tour at the historic winery will make the fully relax while surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of our landscape.

A half-hour drive will get the guests to a riding school near Florence, where they'll meet their very well trained horse waiting to escort them across the rolling hills, carpeted with vineyards and olive groves. Some minutes of setting in the saddle and you will start an hour of private horseback ride on a country trail immersed in the Chianti land among one of the most envied landscapes in the world. The professionally guided ride will be customized to each one's riding skills and our horses will allow an unforgettable riding experience sorted for novices up to very experienced riders.
After the ride a car transfer will get you to a local historic winery, a noble estate, for a 2h-private wine-tasting. During the guided visit of the wine estate you will visit its Medieval cellars and its Renaissance ambients and you will learn the secrets of the wine making and aging of fine Tuscan wines. The tasting includes 3 glasses of Chianti wine and a dessert wine, all that will be accompanied by a Tuscan lunch with fresh local products, various cheeses, cold cuts, and bruschettas seasoned with extra virgin olive oil of the estate and a dessert.
Vegetarians are also properly welcome.

This was such an amazing tour! Without Simona this would not have been possible. She was so helpful. We came into Livorno on a cruise. We only had one day in the area and she booked train tickets for us making sure we got to and from Florence with ease. We had a driver pick us up right outside the train station and Simona gave perfect directions so there was no confusion. The horseback riding was beautiful through vineyards, we got beautiful views and great pictures!! The highlight was the wine tour, we learned so much about the history of the Chianti wine region and a cute lunch of cheeses, meats and amazing Tuscan bread. While we ate, we tasted wines and had a great time. Next time we will probably skip the horseback and do the option of 3 wineries in the day! I wish we had more time to drink! Overall amazing!

This place is excellent. If you are an equestrian that is looking for a place that feels like your home barn -- this is it. They are so kind. They are so attentive. They take such good care of their horses. The trail was BEAUTIFUL. I was able to canter some while the guide stayed with my inexperienced friend. The wine was also fantastic. I really cannot recommend this experience more. It was 100% worth it. The 1 hour was enough to satisfy me as an equestrian, while not too much for my non-equestrian friend. The wine was a perfect ending to the day and a great way to motivate non-equestrians to grow with you. Trail riding in Europe was on my bucket list and I am so grateful to have experienced it here :)

Great experience. Great people. Would recommend this to anyone, and I would do it again if I go back! It was only a short ride out of the city. The views were beautiful while riding and the wine and lunch were delicious.

Everything was perfect and now I know more about Chianti wine than one can imagine...we had a whole case shipped to our residence in Florida.

This trip was so much fun! A lovely break from the city to ride horses and see the best views of the countryside. Simone was the best host & was able to help all of us since we had different skills riding horses. The winery tour with Constance was amazing - she really loves her work & it comes through in everything she talks about - she gave my kids a great wine education, which they loved! Highly recommend this tour!
