  This will be the highlight of your Italy trip. - If you are on the fence about booking this activity, DO IT, This was a dream activity for my husband, but when I realized he had booked an... read more intermediate trip for us, I was very intimidated and a bit worried. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about. Chris, our guide, tailors the experience for each ability, and it was a spectacular day. He is super friendly, extremely professional and knowledgeable about all things biking, wine making, and life in Italy in general. My husband loved the uphill challenges, and we both could not believe that we were actually biking through the Chianti region of Italy. The views of the Italian countryside are truly spectacular. We had time to leisurely stroll in quaint Castellina. The wineries that we visited were so friendly, very beautiful, and you'll love the delicious Chiantis! We had a terrific time so much so that we booked another trip with Chris later in the week. Both trips were amazing and were the highlight of our trip to the Chianti region.

  Chianti wine ride - Biking through the Chianti region was absolutely stunning — a perfect mix of adventure, beauty, and relaxation (some slight hills but so much fun to fly back down them!). Our... read more guide, Chris, was fantastic! Super friendly, engaging, and full of great local knowledge. He not only kept us on track with the route but also gave us wine drinkers (not wine enthusiasts) so much interesting information about the region’s wines and culture. We learned a lot and really appreciated how easy it was to ask questions!
The lunch was delicious — just the right amount of food and wine to keep us happy and energized for the ride ahead. Everything about the day was well-balanced, relaxed, and memorable.
Highly recommend this experience if you're looking to explore Chianti in a fun and active way. Truly a highlight of our trip!
