About this tour
A 2.5-hour horse ride through l'Empordà's vineyards and Mediterranean forests, finishing with a seated tasting of five organic biodynamic wines—three of them premium. You move at walking pace on horseback through working wine country, then return to taste wines that reflect the terrain you've just crossed. Suits anyone comfortable on a horse looking for a slower, sensory approach to a wine region.

What to expect
You'll begin with a briefing and mounting, then set out on horseback through l'Empordà's wine estates and natural landscape at a gentle, walking pace. The ride takes you past vineyards, water features, and native Mediterranean woodland. Duration on horseback is the bulk of the 2.5 hours. Once back, you'll move indoors or to a tasting area where five wines—organic and biodynamic in production—are presented and poured. You'll taste and compare the three premium selections alongside the other two, with time to linger and discuss the wines with the guide.

Good to know
This suits horse riders (beginner to intermediate) who enjoy wine and want an unhurried, nature-based experience rather than a standard cellar tour. Not suitable for anyone with spinal injuries or pregnancy. Infants and small children can be brought in a pram or stroller (they don't ride). All fitness levels are accommodated on horseback, though you must be comfortable sitting astride for roughly 90 minutes. Check suitability with the operator if you have any mobility or balance concerns. The experience is weather-dependent—l'Empordà can be sunny and warm or windy. Public transport is available if you don't drive; confirm parking or collection arrangements when booking.
