About this experience

Discover the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside by bike. Visit the Chianti region from a different perspective and taste locally produced wines. Start your day with us at 8:30 AM at our Florence office, where your adventure begins. By 9:00 AM, we’ll be on the road, heading into the heart of Tuscany. Led by our lively and knowledgeable guides, you'll journey into the iconic Chianti region—famed for its rolling hills, historic estates, and world-class wines. Then it’s time to ride! Midway through the ride, we’ll stop at a traditional Tuscan villa to enjoy a light lunch paired with local wines and a tasting of premium extra virgin olive oil.
