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 on this unforgettable bike tour Florence to Siena, cycling through the celebrated vineyards where these iconic labels are born. Nestled between the art cities of Florence and Siena, the Chianti region reveals rolling hills, medieval villages and incomparable culinary treasures, from world-famous wines to fragrant, homemade olive oil. As the Tuscan sun shines above and the golden Chianti countryside unfolds around you, you will feel as if you have stepped into a living 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, continue your bike tour Florence to Siena with a scenic ride toward Greve in Chianti, a rustic market village considered the capital of the Chianti wine-producing region. Along the way, stop in Impruneta for a relaxed coffee break on its charming main square.
Arrive in Greve and head over to Le Cantine di Greve, where you can taste over 50 different Chianti wines and truly immerse yourself in the local wine culture.
