Florence to Siena: Chianti hills
Bike Tour: Florence to Siena: Chianti hills - 4 days
Discover the genius behind the “Chianti Classico and Gallo Nero” wines by cycling around the celebrating vineyards where they are produced. Nestled amidst the flourishing art cities of Florence and Siena, the Chianti region offers natural beauty and incomparable culinary treasures such as the world famous Chianti wines and delectable homemade olive oil. As the Tuscan sun shines above and the golden Chianti countryside reflects your delight, you will feel as if you have stepped into a Renaissance painting.
Arrive in Florence and take a moment to breathe in the air of the Renaissance.
We suggested arriving early to go for a city walk around the magnificent squares and by the illustrious Arno River.
After breakfast, start the ride to Greve in Chianti, a rustic market village and the capital of the Chianti wine-producing region. Along the way you can stop at Impruneta, a great place for a coffee break on the main square.
Arrive in Greve and head over to Le Cantine di Greve where you can taste over 50 different Chianti wines.
