Tuscany Mini Cycling Tour

While Tuscany does not need any presentation, it never disappoints. The area south of Florence, around Siena and in the Val d’Orcia, will set the stage for our exploration by bike. You will visit medieval hilltop towns, abbeys, and wineries. We start in the countryside in the village of Greve in the Chianti area. From there, we will explore part of the Chianti production area with a visit to a winery. Siena is the embodiment of a medieval city and it will be our stay for two nights. We organized a walking tour to fully appreciate this UNESCO site. We'll immerse ourselves in the spirit of L’Eroica, a special "race" from every point of view, with surroundings and scenes from the "heroic" time of cycling: sections on dirt roads, vintage refreshments, wonderful and demanding roads. We should mention that this area has been known since Roman times for its thermal springs. We will pay a visit to the quaint village of Bagno Vignoni.
