Flavors of Tuscany

Our gay Italy bike trip begins in Tuscany, in the fabled Renaissance city of Florence, and home of Michelangelo’s “David.”

Florence is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, as recognizable names from History like Siena, San Gimignana and Radda become more than just points on a map, they become living, breathing time warps which we will cycle through and into!

After the first night in Florence, we spend two nights at each hotel, allowing time to get to know each region in more depth. Tuscany has hills, and part of the fun of this trip is riding over the hills, and enjoying the vistas as you descend the other side. This trip has the perfect combination of riding and relaxations, with plenty of art, touring, and gelato thrown in! We’ll also explore and savor all the “Flavors of Tuscany” guiltfree after all our hard work!

Highlights

• Stroll along Florence’s picturesque Ponte Vecchio, crammed with leather shops, admire Michelangelo’s David, then check out Tuscany’s nascent gay scene.
• Enjoy lunch in a medieval town in the heart of “Chianti Classico”, sampling the red wine that made the region famous.
• Watch for the wild boar, pheasants, and occasional wolves that still inhabit the forests of scrub oak and pine.
• Sip a cappuccino in Siena’s breathtaking Piazza del Campo, one of the most beautiful public plazas in the world.
• Delight in the scents and flavors of Tuscany: Fresh-picked wild mushrooms, robust cheeses, crusty Italian bread, and ruby Chianti wines.
