You mount a calm, steady horse at a family-run stable and the Tuscan hills open before you — low ridgelines, olive rows, and vine-trained trellises rolling like low waves under a wide sky.
This six-hour loop combines a guided ride across compact dirt tracks and grassy trails with a slow, social stop at a vineyard for a tasting and light lunch. The route passes through soil that has shaped Chianti wine for centuries: clay and galestro—crumbly marl and schist that force roots deep and lend the wines their structure. Winemaking here traces back to Etruscan and Roman land use; today small estates preserve dry-stone walls, cypress avenues, and a culture that measures success by bottle and table.
Expect varied terrain: mostly gentle slopes and farm tracks with brief sections of loose gravel; typical elevation change is modest, suited to riders of mixed ability. Horses are schooled for trail work and guides give a safety briefing at the stables before you ride.
Practical notes: the tour is about 6 hours total, including a two-hour riding introduction and a four-hour tasting and light lunch with cold cuts and wine. Private transport from Florence is included; groups are capped at eight. Not recommended for pregnant travelers or people with spinal or serious heart conditions. Alcohol served only to those 18+ under local law.
Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and a small daypack; hydrate before you ride and notify guides of height/weight or mobility questions when you book. The experience balances easy-going riding with a grounded immersion in Chianti’s viticultural landscape.
