Full description
If you want an adventure that combines a love of history, a passion forhorse riding and the pleasure of gastronomy, we have just the thing for you.
Join us for an unforgettable horseback ride in the heart of Franciacorta. Accompanied by an equestrian guide, you will ride for about three hours through the green vineyards and medieval castles of Passirano and Bornato.
But that's not all: halfway through, a tasting of Franciacorta wine and local products awaits you in a local wine cellar!
What we will do
We await you at the time of your choice at our cosy ranch located in Paderno Franciacorta in the province of Brescia.
After a warm welcome, the riding guides will introduce you to the basics of riding. Even if it' s your first time in the saddle, don't worry: we will guide you step by step in learning how to communicate with your horse and how to mount, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
Afterwards, we will begin the walk. Not only will we ride the classic route through the vineyards of Franciacorta, but we will also take you on a fascinating journey to discover the area's medieval castles, such as Passirano Castle and Bornato Castle. These majestic witnesses of local history will add a touch of magic to our route between nature and culture.
Halfway along the route, after an hour and a half of riding, we will stop at a selected local wine cellar, where we will enjoy a tasting of Franciacorta wine and local products, including salami and cheese (included in the fee).
Back in the saddle, we will ride back to Paderno Franciacorta. We will ride through the picturesque landscapes of Passirano, Camignone and Bornato, where the view of castles alternates with that of vineyards and fields, in an interweaving of natural and architectural beauty.
The activity lasts about 3½ hours and includes a tasting session.
