About this tour
Cycle through Chianti's rolling countryside on a 7–8 hour private tour, starting near Florence. You'll ride past vineyards and olive groves, stopping at two working wineries for tastings alongside a simple Tuscan lunch. Small groups (max 8) mean you get genuine conversation with your guide about the region's wine-making traditions and food culture. Expect quiet rural roads, hilltop villages, and the kind of day that justifies ordering extra gelato at the end.
Highlights
- Ride quiet country roads lined with cypress trees and vineyards
- Taste Chianti and regional wines direct from two local estates
- Simple Tuscan lunch paired with your second winery visit
- Small group ensures personal attention from your guide
- Explore stone villages between cycling stretches
What to expect
You'll spend most of the day on a bike, so comfort matters—expect gentle to moderate terrain with some climbs. The pace is steady rather than racing; stops at wineries last 45–60 minutes each, giving you time to chat with producers and understand what you're drinking. Lunch is straightforward Tuscan fare, eaten on-site at the second winery. Between stops, you're riding through genuine working countryside, not tourist traps. Bring sun protection and a decent water bottle; the roads are safe but real.
Good to know
You need moderate fitness and a reliable sense of balance—this isn't for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health. Bring your own coffee or snacks if you need them mid-ride; they're not included. Public transport runs nearby if you prefer not to cycle the full route home.
