Experiences
Premium Minho Experience
Horses, vinho verde, gastronomy and tradition — the best of the region in a single day
Duration: Half a day (3h30 – 4h)
Level: All levels
Season: All year round
Group: max. 8 riders
Some visitors want more than a ride: they want to take the Minho home with them. It was for them that we created the Premium Experience — half a day bringing together the best of what we do and the best the region has to offer.
The programme
We begin with a horseback ride of your choosing — the wild sweep of the beach or the mountain trails with their windmills. A small group, a gentle pace, and plenty of stops for photographs.
Back at the riding centre, the table is already laid: vinho verde (the region’s young green wine) from local producers, regional delicacies — broa corn bread, smoked meats, cheese, sweets from Viana — and unhurried conversation about horses, traditions and the secrets of the region.
To finish, a showcase of Viana craftsmanship: the famous Viana embroidery and the filigree Heart of Viana, with pieces by local artisans that you can buy directly.
Who it’s for
- Couples and families after a truly memorable day out
- Groups of friends, hen and stag parties with a touch of class
- Companies looking for team-building with a difference
- Wine and food lovers with a taste for adventure
Frequently asked questions
Is the wine before or after the ride?
Always after! First the ride, then the toast — that's our golden rule. Anyone driving afterwards gets equally good alcohol-free alternatives.
Does it work for corporate groups or hen and stag parties?
It's perfect for that. For groups larger than 8, we split the ride into shifts and everyone comes together for the food and wine. Ask us for a proposal.
Can I choose between beach and mountains?
Yes — just tell us your preference when booking (or let the weather forecast and the time of year guide you).
