Chianti Region & San Gimignano: Guided Tour + Transfers + Lunch + Horseback Ride

Additional Information & Description

Tuscany’s Chianti region brings agricultural landscapes and local food together on this four-hour guided outing. Begin with a drive through the area, then spend part of the day beyond the road, with activities that take you into the countryside and to a winery table.

Ride near vineyards and olive groves

The horseback ride takes you near vineyards and olive groves, giving this part of the tour a different pace from the opening drive. Beginners can take part, and no previous riding experience is needed. The ride is included in the itinerary, rather than an optional addition, so time on horseback forms part of your introduction to Chianti’s agricultural surroundings.

Lunch and wine at a winery

After the countryside activities, sit down for an included winery lunch. The meal features assorted appetizers, cheeses, salami and bruschetta, accompanied by local wine. Wine tasting is also included. This stop brings the region’s food into the visit through a concrete selection of dishes, with time at the table following the more active part of the outing.

Guided travel and time in San Gimignano

A live guide accompanies the tour, with guiding available in English and Italian. The itinerary also includes free time in San Gimignano, providing an independent portion alongside the guided activities. Roundtrip transportation is included in an air-conditioned minivan. Tips are not included.
