What to expect
You'll be matched with a suitable horse and fitted with a helmet before heading out on marked trails through the vineyard landscape. The pace is leisurely—expect walk only, no cantering or galloping. After roughly 90 minutes in the saddle, you'll dismount for the tasting portion, where the guide will walk you through several local wines in a relaxed setting. The platter arrives alongside your final glass, giving you time to graze and take in the views. Bring water and sunscreen; the trails are mostly exposed.
Good to know
Book well in advance, especially for weekends. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries or are pregnant. Wear closed-toe shoes and long trousers; avoid loose clothing that might spook the horses. The ride is mostly flat terrain, manageable for those with no prior experience.
