Vineyard Horseback Riding Tour in Tuscany

Explore the idyllic trails and byways of the Chianti Senesi near Siena on a private horseback riding tour, enjoying privileged views of the surrounding vineyards, olive groves and medieval hilltop villages.  

This iconic region in Tuscany is the second largest Chianti subzone after Chianti Classico, which is best savoured at a slower pace. It is also home to the Scuderia (“stables”) Melissa Cipriani, a renowned horse breeder with over 40 years of experience in the world of international horse racing. Having bred world-champion horses and worked with famous jockeys like Frankie Dettori, you couldn’t be in better hands.  

Discover the Chianti Senesi via horseback 

When you stay in one of our luxury villas in Tuscany, join Melissa and her team as they guide you on horseback through the rolling Chianti Senesi vineyards and countryside. Open to all levels and abilities, this intimate horseback riding experience can be adapted to complete novices as well as experienced equestrians. 

Choose from a one or two-hour horse riding tour from the Melissa Cipriani stables in Castelnuovo Berardenga near Siena, a centre for breeding and training race horses, with over 30 hectares of scenic paddocks. All the necessary equipment you will need is provided for you, so you can focus on getting to know your horse and immersing yourself in the spellbinding scenery, history and culture of the Chianti.
