You'll spend an hour on horseback exploring the winery's property and surrounding woods, then transition to tasting six regional varieties—from crisp Vernaccia to structured Brunello—paired with local cheeses, cured meats, bruschetta, and cantuccini biscuits. Transport from Florence is included.

What to expect
After collection from Florence, you'll arrive at the winery and meet your horse. The first hour is spent riding through the estate's vineyards, olive groves, and woods surrounding San Gimignano—the pace suits all abilities. Once back, you'll move indoors for the tasting component. A sommelier walks you through six distinct wines, explaining what makes each region's style unique, whilst you work through Tuscan cheeses, salami, toasted bread, and biscuits. The tasting isn't rushed; expect to understand the pairing logic behind each selection.
