What to expect
You'll start at a local ranch with basic training and safety briefing, then ride for roughly an hour through the Tuscan landscape—rolling terrain, vineyard rows, and groves where olive trees have stood for generations. Mid-morning, you'll head to Vinci by private car, tour Leonardo's childhood home, and wander the medieval town. Lunch follows at a local table, where Tuscan fare and regional wines reflect the day's setting. The pace is unhurried; instruction is one-on-one and adjusted to your confidence level.
