This engaging proposal includes a 3-4 hour horse ride through the picturesque Tuscan countryside, arriving for lunch in an ancient castle of medieval origins on the Florentine hills, now operating as a winery under the ownership of one of the main dynasties of winemakers Italians.
From the stables, our horse-riding guide will lead you along the country paths through the 300 hectares of vineyards and olive groves of these historic noble wine and olive oil producers in Chianti Rufina, 25km east of Florence. Depending on the riding ability of the participants, it will be possible to trot and gallop along the way, reaching our destination after about 1h30 / 2 hours in the saddle.
Upon arrival at the medieval castle of Nipozzano or the medieval castle of Trebbio (at our choice), both surrounded by well-tended vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can see, you will have a couple of hours to enjoy a private tour of the ancient rooms, the cellars of the castle and the adjacent village, followed by a guided tasting of 3 to 4 wines and an appetizing Tuscan-style light lunch.
For many years, the noble families of the owners have welcomed visitors to their villas and castles with the aim of offering guests a first-rate experience – unique, unforgettable and timeless – combining historic homes, world-class wines , traditional Tuscan cuisine with locally sourced products, tailor-made services and the unrivaled beauty of the Tuscan countryside.
Your horses will have rested a couple of hours before concluding this memorable day, by leading you back with another pleasant 1h30 / 2h horse ride back to the stables, where you will find the private vehicle waiting for you to take you back to the starting point in the city center.
