Horse riding and lunch
This is one of our best-loved tours! You will be transferred from Florence to a riding center in the Chianti area, where your equine companion will be waiting for you.
After a brief test, you will be leaving for a horseback ride in the Chianti hills among vineyards and olive groves.
The guided ride will take you on a relaxing and unforgettable stroll on horseback through the luscious green landscape typical of the Tuscan countryside.
The ride is guaranteed to whet your appetite, so next your driver will take you for lunch to a typical Tuscan grocery store, normally frequented by local customers for the daily shopping of local delicatessen but hugely popular with visitors alike. You will be able to taste sample two of the most important Tuscan wines – Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino – and taste a delicious Tuscan meal including a pasta dish of your choice, a platter of cheeses and cured meats, plus dessert with sweet Vinsanto wine.
You can also buy or order the wines and the products tasted, before returning to Florence with your senses full of a full-round experience of authentic life in the legendary Florentine countryside.
