Horseback riding & Wine Tasting with Lunch at a Historic Estate

Posted By : Meghan_B
My husband and I booked this excursion as part of our 4-night trip to Florence for our honeymoon. It rained that day, but we still had an absolute blast, riding Piccolo and Zipper across the beautiful Tuscan countryside. We also really enjoyed our wine tasting in a scenic winery. Simona and Marco handled everything from us - booking the horseback riding and wine tasting, as well as providing us with transportation to and from Florence. They were so personable and kind - this was truly the highlight of our trip. They also took plenty of pictures for us throughout the day!

We would absolutely book something with them again in the future or recommend this to our friends.

Loved this experience everything was perfectly set up and nice to have a private tour of the vineyards allowed it to be focused on our group and escaping the city to the countryside for the day would highly recommend it was the highlight of my trip

The guides were very friendly and helpful. They made it easy to ride the horse, even as a beginner. It was a great way to view the Tuscan countryside away from the roads and noise. And the wine tour after the horseback ride was fantastic. The winery host gave a really cool explanation of the history of the area and how the winery works. What a great way to spend an evening away from the bustle of Florence.

Simona and her team provide an excellent service here. We booked a private two-person 2hr trek and wine tasting (requested at short notice of 48-hours). Communication was excellent and clear from start to finish, the private pick-up from Florence city was easy and we were riding less than 60mins after being picked up.

Simona is a fantastic host, very friendly, very professional, and a great communicator - conversation flows easily during the transfer. The trek itself was excellent, a two-hour hack on a couple of steady horses into the Tuscan hills with a private guide, Luca. The place itself is family run and they can only accommodate small numbers so it is not overrun with other groups, it feels very calm and private to your group.

The wine-tasting is approx 20mins transfer and is a great short experience of approx 90mins/2hrs.

I’d recommend this trip to anyone who fancies a day away from the crowds of Florence or others cities.

We had a great time horseback riding in the Chianti Mountains. Simona kept great communication and ensured we had a great time. Lucca was our guide and he made sure everything was fine. We then went to Villa Travignola and had a private tour light lunch and wine tasting. Julia was a great host and we enjoyed the tour and wines very much. Simona was able to set up everything for us. We would book these again. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

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!
