5.00This was so much fun! Even for beginners - I have been on a horse 3 times in my life, and I didn't have any difficulty following the instructions given by our guide. The landscape was beautiful - Vesuvius on one side, and the Bay of Naples on the other off in the distance. After the riding, we were driven to the wine tasting and lunch. The wine was delicious. The food was fantastic. The Limoncello and Meloncello were amazing. I would highly recommend this excursion!
A fantastic day!

5.00It’s great that the plan Sofia was working for finally became a reality. Her ideas to put local treasures together are realized in the best way. I enjoyed the horse back riding in the beautiful landscape for the second time and wine tasting for the first. It made me proud that I brought my friend 😊. Her new team was excellent, too.
Great way to visit a winery

5.00This was probably one of the best things I’ve gotten to do in Italy! It was my first time ever riding a horse, and Giuseppe was a really helpful instructor. The vineyards were amazing, and afterwards I was driven to the wine distillery. The wine was so good and I had an amazing view of the Gulf of Naples!
A highlight of our holiday!

5.00This experience was wonderful! We were picked up and whisked away to the horse riding centre. The horses were well looked after and very easy to ride. The ride through the vineyards was lovely, definitely suitable for people who haven’t ridden much before, perhaps a little too tame if you are an experienced rider. The wine tasting was at a different location and we were blown away by the whole thing. We had an amazing lunch - far more food than we expected and all delicious. About every 10 minutes we were given another very generous taster glass of another wine and they were very varied and delicious. This was a real highlight of our holiday.

5.00Gennaro and Giuseppe, the brothers of tastetheexperience, offered us the most Amazing and humane experience of our trip on the amalfitan coast. We missed the pompeii visit because of a cancelled train and lack of a green pass, but they were very comprehensive and arranging and proposed us to come back the next day without any additional fee. They took us by car to join the other group to a marvelous wine dégustation and visit on a vesuvio grapeyard with adorable producers who explained everything to us starting by a welcoming glass of rosé. We then had a delicioso napolitan coffee at the stable before an Express horse mounting training followed by the most fabulous horse riding on the grapeyards of the side of the vesuvio. We had so much fun and human connections that we felt more like it was a day with new nice friends rather than a paid activity. No hurry, no stress, only incredible sceneries with passionnate people. Grazzie mille and.feel free to contact us if you come by Paris !
really recommendable!
