The Magic of Chianti Classico

Bike tour in Tuscany on an Electric bike that'll take you to the fascinating hills of the Chianti territory along with its iconic dirt roads, thus revealing, in a slow and contemplative way, an area rich in food and wine traditions, cradle of the famous Chianti Classico wine (tasting included) and proud of its tradition and culture linked to the long rivalry between Siena and Florence. Furthermore, the experience includes a guided tour in one of the most iconic castles of Tuscany, with a breathtaking view of the city of Siena, and the lunch break will take place in a gourgeous hamlet where you, in addition to enjoying the tranquility and warm tuscan welcome, will be able to enrich your exploration of the Tuscan flavours. Developed in partnership with Ebike Siena.

Together with our cycling guides, this electric bike tour starts in the fascinating Siena to enter the territory known as Chianti Classico. Equipped with our comfortable electric bikes we will use the famous Tuscan dirt roads to reach one of the most iconic medieval castles in the area, that of Brolio. As we cross territories rich in grape and olive cultivation, we will have the opportunity to stop at panoramic points to take some photos and for storytelling. We'll get off of our bikes for a guided tour of the castle installations with a local guide, learning in detail about the events linked to the internal wars between Siena and Florence, and the life of the Ricasoli family. Afterwards, we will pop into the winery to learn about and go for the chianti wine tasting, in which you'll get to choose among various kinds of the Chianti Classico produced by Vinicola Ricasoli (one glass comprised). Afterwards, we'll get back on our bikes and head to the restaurant where you will taste the delights of typical Tuscan gastronomy (attention: the afternoon tour does not include a lunch break and does not pass through San Gusmé: there will be a stop in the bar in front of the cellar). The tour ends by returning to Siena.
