Riders on horseback on a trail through open country On horseback

An hour and a half on horseback between the vines, then a tasting

Gualdo Cattaneo

The vineyards around Gualdo Cattaneo run in long lines over low Umbrian hills, and you go through them from the height of a saddle instead of a car window. The cellar is waiting at the end of it.

How the day goes

  1. Into the saddle at the estate and out along the rows, hills opening either side.
  2. Back down to the cellar for the tour, underground and cool after the sun.
  3. A tasting of the estate wines with local food, sitting still at last.
