Explore a wonderfully unique and quintessentially Tuscan landscape

Travelling through an undulating patchwork of vine groves and olive trees, you’ll discover exquisite medieval villages and century-old churches and farms. You’ll visit the historical centres of classic Tuscan towns like Siena, San Gimignano, Colle Val d’Elsa, Buonconvento, Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano. You’ll wander through the Abbey of St. Antimo and the superb Monastery of Monte Oliveto, and explore the barren geometric mounds of hills topped with cypress trees. The region is home to the famous wines of Chianti and Brunello, and there will be ample opportunity to sample their fare and other delicious, regional cuisine. With beautiful scenery, authentic local food, and a mild climate, cycling is the ideal way to explore the region. La Dolce Vita – Life is sweet!
