Horse ride in the Lepini woods plus tasting

Cori

Cori looks down from the Lepini over a plain that runs to the sea, and the woods above the town are where the horses go. Vines, oak, and an organic estate that has worked this hillside a long time.

How the day goes

  1. Meet the riding school and head up into the woods above Cori, or out among the estate rows.
  2. Back down to the cellar for the guided visit, out of the sun.
  3. A tasting of the estate wines to finish, with the plain laid out below.

The vineyard route needs a group behind it; on your own you will ride the woods instead, which is no loss.
