The Ride Begins In Chianti

We start by meeting at one of our pickup spots in Florence and then our comfortable support vehicle transports you into the rolling hills of Chianti Classico. There you enjoy some free time to roam the streets of Castellina In Chianti, have a coffee or snack and watch the world go by in this charming town that is not overrun by tourists.

The Perfect Electric Bike Experience

Thanks to our e-bikes, those breathtaking cypress and olive tree-covered beauties are now completely conquerable for any level of cyclist. You’ll glide nearly effortlessly through the rolling countryside of Tuscany’s hills, barely breaking a sweat while you soak in the stunning scenery.

An e bike is a great leveler that means groups of mixed abilities can finally ride all together. You’ll still need to pedal – but you can choose how much the motor helps you. Want a workout? Put it on Eco (the lowest level of assistance) and feel your heart rate go up. Don’t want to break a sweat and huff and puff? Put it in Turbo and every gentle pedal stroke is boosted by the maximum force of the motor.

Authentic Tuscan Dining

Savor a memorable light lunch at one of our favourite wineries in the region, featuring locally sourced ingredients prepared in traditional Tuscan style. As you eat, we will enjoy a wine tasting of at least four wines – usually two Chianti and two non-Chianti wines – all produced on the estate by the vines that are growing a just few feet from your table. Learn about what makes a Chianti wine a Chianti wine: the grape varieties and rules and regulations. You’ll return home an expert on the local Tuscan wines!

Perfect For

Intermediate cyclists comfortable with gentle hills and 15-20 miles of riding. Previous cycling experience recommended, but athletic ability is less important than enthusiasm for wine, food, and stunning scenery.

Experience Tuscany the way it was meant to be discovered—slowly, authentically, and with a glass of exceptional Chianti in hand.
