About this experience
A private Chianti horseback wine tour from Florence — ride, taste, and explore
Leave Florence for a private countryside experience in Pelago, among the gentle hills of Chianti Rufina, where vineyards, olive groves, wooded paths, and open valley views create a quieter and more rural side of Tuscany. The landscape here feels far from the pace of the city, with a setting that suits horseback riding naturally and gives the experience a slower, more authentic rhythm.
After meeting your driver in Florence, you will reach the ranch near Pelago and set out on a guided ride through scenic trails and vineyard surroundings. The route is easy and suitable for beginners, so the focus stays on the pleasure of riding through the Tuscan countryside rather than on technical difficulty. Between the two riding segments, you will stop at a local estate for a tasting of Chianti wine, extra virgin olive oil, and local charcuterie.
This experience brings together horseback riding, wine tasting, and the character of the Tuscan countryside in a way that feels balanced and unforced. With roundtrip transfer from Florence included, it is an easy way to enjoy a private escape into one of the most scenic areas near the city while discovering the atmosphere, flavors, and landscapes that make this part of Tuscany so distinctive.
