What to expect
You'll start with a gentle ride through the countryside surrounding San Gimignano, following trails that wind between vineyards and olive trees. The pace suits all abilities—no prior riding experience needed. After an hour or so on horseback, you'll arrive at the winery where the real feast begins: a properly structured four-course meal using what's in season locally, each course matched with a wine. The winemaker or their team will walk you through what you're drinking and why it works with the food.
