1 Day Tuscany Bike Tour
Slow down your Italian adventure and let the countryside rush over you as we present a soothing food and wine cycling tour that travels through the picturesque Chianti hills. Breeze through the olive groves and admire the historic wineries as your professional guide leads this small group tour on a gastronomic journey up and down the rolling hills. Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to soak up the wonderful Tuscan flavours and aromas as you pedal through the rural landscape at a tranquil pace.
We’ll leave Florence behind as we take a 25-minute shuttle ride to the countryside. Then we’ll set off by bicycle as we roam the spectacular scenery, which offers everything from sprawling wine estates to ancient stone villages and sunny vistas. We’ll also make sure we take regular breaks along the road as we want to capture as many great photo memories as possible throughout this special ride.
Halfway through this cycling tour, we’ll find a peaceful spot and rest in the stunning surrounds of the Italian landscape. We’ll roll out the rug and unpack the picnic basket as we sit beneath the cypress, oak and olive trees, which cover the rolling hills throughout the Chianti region. Take a break from the sunshine and munch on some fresh croissants, you’ll also sample a quintessential Tuscan snack of bread with salt and extra-virgin olive oil.
As we ride onwards, we’ll ride to two wineries. The first is celebrated by wine-lovers around the globe, having established an incredible reputation for its high-quality production. Meanwhile, the second winery we visit will be a smaller, boutique winery where you’ll learn about production techniques involving ageing, storing and bottling wine, as well as what makes great olive oil.
Afterwards, we’ll slowly ride back to our starting point. At this time, we’ll unwind as we indulge ourselves in a delightful Tuscan-style lunch. Surrounded once more by nature, you’ll also get to enjoy some tantalising bottles of wine bought from our previously visited wineries.
Discover a gentler way of life as this scenic pedal through the Italian countryside pairs perfectly with some incredible food and wine.
