From a beautifully restored Tuscan farmhouse/winery, bike along quiet roads to the three villages that formed the Chianti Alliance centuries ago. Visit Tuscany's forgotten abbeys and hamlets then enjoy a private winery tour and taste their supple reds, fresh honeys and rich olive oil then relax by the vanishing edge pool spilling into the countryside of endless vineyards.
Soft, colorful, rolling hills of vineyards and sunflowers provide the backdrop to pre-Roman Etruscan remnants on your route to San Gimignano’s "medieval skyscrapers.” Then ride past Voltera an Etruscan and Romans stronghold and into the fortressed Tuscan hill town Monteriggioni. In Siena you’ll witness a unique blend of medieval and Renaissance treasures during your city tour then a night on your own to enjoy the medieval atmosphere.
Pedal through contrasting landscapes leading into the land of Brunello wines, Abbeys, Roman baths and historic hill towns. Cruise along a high ridge and the changing hill¬sides of ash gray, deep green and bright yellow to the perfectly planned city of Pienza, where pecorino cheese is renowned.
