How will we get to the stables?

I've never ridden a horse, can I still participate in one of the horse tours?
Yes, of course. Guests who have no riding experience can choose between the carriage ride in the heart of the Chianti area and the outing on horseback with three food and wine tasting options. Only the grand tour on horseback to the Castello di Nipozzano is restricted to guests who have medium to excellent riding skills.
