Meet our team and enjoy the ride of the Chianti wine region while learning about the area and hearing interesting facts about Tuscany while enjoying the view of the rolling hills around San Gimignano. Once at the Horse Riding ranch, situated in a peaceful area immersed between the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, you will meet the horses before setting out.
Don't worry if you haven't ridden a horse before, it is a slow walk and the experienced staff will make sure you feel confident before leaving for a ride. We will ride in complete relaxation by lush vineyards, native woods, and olive groves for a collection of breathtaking and unforgettable views for about 1h.
After the ride, enjoy a traditional Tuscan mean and wine tasting in a local winery with Antipasti Toscani (bruschetta, pecorino cheese, Tuscan cured meat), some Lasagna with truffle oil, traditional Ribolita bread Soup, and Cantuccini biscuits as dessert. Here you will be able to taste the famous Chianti Classico wine, the local Vernaccia white wine and some Super Tuscans.
The final stop of the tour is the charming medieval town of San Gimignano, where you will have over an hour of free time to explore.
Famous for its medieval architecture and distinctive skyline of ancient towers, San Gimignano invites you to wander its narrow cobblestone streets, picturesque piazzas, and historic palaces. Discover artisan shops, admire landmarks such as the Collegiata and Torre Grossa, and take the time to enjoy this UNESCO World Heritage Site at your own pace, soaking in its timeless charm and local specialties.
After leaving San Gimignano you will be dropped off at the starting point, with your camera full of memories and new friends made along the way.
