Tuscany
Chianti hills, medieval towns and tastings, at the pace of a bicycle.
Tuscany bike tours ride well because the country roads connect Florence, Siena and the hill towns through vineyards, olive groves and cypress lines, with climbs that are long rather than steep, and white gravel strade bianche where the traffic disappears altogether.
Our cycling tours in Tuscany combine riding days with visits to the art cities and with tastings at the estates along the route, on e-bikes and with a support van every day.
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for cycling in Tuscany, with mild temperatures and long light in the late afternoon.
Between Florence and Siena the roads climb and drop through vineyards and olive groves, past Greve, Radda and Castellina. Gradients are long rather than sharp, and estates along the way open for a tasting at the end of a riding morning.
South of Siena the landscape opens into wide clay hills, cypress lines and white gravel roads. Pienza, Montalcino and Montepulciano sit within a short ride of each other, which makes this the most rewarding area of Tuscany for a full day in the saddle.
