Full description
Caponata, panelle, pasta alla norma…
Yes, we know this is an equestrian adventure. But we also know you can’t wait to find out what’s on the menu. And you’ll find out soon enough by joining our horse ride with lunch: accompanied by a qualified equestrian guide, you’ll venture into the Alcantara Park and ride through a varied natural landscape featuring lava flows, waterfalls, vineyards and olive groves.
A 3-hour experience, with a traditional Sicilian lunch included!
What we will do
Please arrive 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Castiglione di Sicilia (CT). Once there, we’ll meet the equestrian guide who’ll be accompanying us on this adventure!
Once all participants have gathered, we’ll be given our equipment and assigned our horses. We’ll then mount up, learn the basics of horse riding and all the information we need to ensure a worry-free experience.
And here we are, ready for our horse ride: we’ll venture into the Alcantara Park, following the course of the river of the same name; we’ll ride past lava flows, waterfalls, vineyards and olive groves. Along the way, we’ll also pass by the Cuba di Santa Domenica, an ancient Byzantine church which we’ll admire from the outside. The horse ride lasts approximately one and a half hours.
Finally, we’ll return to the meeting point, where we’ll be treated to lunch at a local restaurant, featuring local produce and traditional Sicilian dishes. Menu 1 consists of a starter, a first course, water and house wine; Menu 2 consists of a starter, a mixed grill of meats, a side dish, water and house wine.
The experience lasts approximately 3 hours in total.
