What to expect
You'll spend an hour on horseback exploring the rolling countryside south of Siena. The route takes you across working farmland, past water crossings and beneath tree-lined paths. Your guide shares knowledge about what you're seeing—the crops, wildlife and historical significance of the region. The pace is steady and manageable. If you choose the picnic option, expect to dismount and rest by the riverbank. A winery detour involves tasting local wines in a traditional setting.
