Cycling Tuscany: Chianti & Siena

  • Cycle the rolling Cypress tree lined Tuscan hills
  • Dine in the buzz of Piazza di Campo in Siena
  • Ride amongst the famous vineyards of Montepulciano
  • Poolside relaxation under the Tuscan sun
  • Sample local wine and delicious cuisine en route
Experience the best of classic Tuscany on two wheels, discovering picture-postcard medieval and renaissance hill-top villages, accompanied by sumptuous cuisine and the famed Chianti, Brunello and Nobile wines. Each day you will be cycling at your leisure through scenery characterised by vineyards, verdant farmland and cypress-lined country roads. Each day you’ll reach traditional villages perched atop rolling hills, where churches, abbeys and monasteries await. Visit the fortified town of Monteriggioni before heading to one of Italy’s most spell-binding locations, San Gimignano, with its many towers. Explore magical Siena, the thermal-spa town of Bagno Vignoni and Pienza, as well as photogenic Montichiello and Montepulciano. You’ll also pass through towns located on the route of the ancient Via Francigena pilgrimage. End each day with a well-earned glass or two of full-bodied Italian red, accompanied by a dish garnished with local pecorino cheese and truffles.
