Biking through the breathtaking Chianti wine region with Fun In Tuscany might just be the ultimate tuscan bike experience. Such a special location demands a superior bike tour, which is what we have in store for our fortunate guests. To explore the hilly tuscan countryside in the easiest way we offer you the option to enjoy a traditional mountain bike or try a modern and friendly e-bike which can be coupled to a trailer for the transportation of young kids.
We'll be riding on paved and not paved roads through vineyards, olive groves, oak woods and rolling hills. Two and a half hours mountain bike excursion with great photo ops and panoramic views. We'll reach the stunning medieval town of San Gimignano, famous all over the world for its imposing original 12th century towers. In this village we'll have the opportunity to taste the Dondoli world champion gelato ( a must do!) and reach the fort on top of the hill overlooking the valleys around. Back on the bikes, we'll reach a local winery for a typical tuscan lunch combined to a superfun wine tasting class. We'll be back in Florence at about 5.00 pm. Kids and families are more than welcome!
