What to expect
Meet your guide at the starting point with your e-bike and helmet fitted to size. The route meanders through vineyard country at an easy, conversational pace—e-motors take the strain on climbs. Expect gravel tracks, quiet lanes, and short stops to drink in the views and learn about the region's history. In the final hour, you'll arrive at a working winery for a proper sit-down tasting of Chianti paired with cured meats, cheese, and local bread. Total ride time is broken into manageable stretches with water top-ups throughout.
