Chianti Bike Tour

Day 1 - Warm up with our one day Classic Chianti Tour in the morning. After lunch we will break off from the rest of the group and head further south towards Siena. During our trip, we will be passing through classic Tuscan towns such as Greve and the hilltop town of Panzano. After a coffee and a visit to the famous butcher of Panzano, Dario Cecchini, we will head down to Villa Rosa where we will be spending the night. An exquisite Italian multi-course dinner in the hotel is included in the price.

Day 2 – After breakfast at the hotel we start out descending downhill for several kilometers leading us to the town of Radda in Chianti for our first climb. After a stroll through the town, another downhill will take us to lunch in the town of Gaiole, home of the world famous vintage bike race called L’Eroica. While sitting in the main square of Gaiole, we will introduce you to our longtime friend, Fernanda, who will serve us a delicious Tuscan lunch. After coffee, we will ride back on the bikes for a nice long meandering, semi-downhill, flat stretch of road before we come to the town of Pianella. After Pianella, we can stop here or proceed uphill to Siena (in our van or still pedaling), where we will say good-bye and our amazing experience together will officially end.
