In a green and quiet setting, discover the well-knowned winegrowing region of Chablis. Of course, this getaway trip of 2 days in the saddle, will be the occasion of tasting some local wines. You will sleep in tents to add to the adventure. |
Every riding day is devoted to a loop in the vineyards and the nature, allowing us to alternate between wild nature and more domesticated landscapes. The ground favours nice gaits.
Our different itineraries
After having prepared the horses, we will be leaving to discover the vineyards around us on horseback. After two hours in the saddle, we will stop at a magnificent point of view on top of the well-knowned village of Chablis. After our lunch break, we keep discovering the vineyards and at the end of the day, we will be able to taste some Chablis. We will be able to buy some as well! We go back to our starting point by some nice tracks where we can have a few canters. Dinner and night at the camp.
For this nice day, we will be leaving in the direction of the Vaupelteigne Chapel. Around midday, we will be having lunch by the water. If the weather allows it, we will bath with our horses. In the afternoon, we go back to our starting point by a different path, the occasion to canter in these nice landscapes. Dinner and night at the camp.
Today, we leave for a day on horseback. We follow the path to the village of Maligny, situated in the Serein valley. Like for every other lunch break, the logistic team meets us for a lovely meal. We get back on our horses and progress through the vineyards and the country side. During the day, we will stop for a wine tasting session. Dinner and night at the camp.
