Overview
Starting in Florence, a local guide will lead you on your Vespa through the quiet, cypress-lined roads of the Chianti region, capturing the best of the scenery, aromas, and soft breezes. Enjoy the feel of the fresh air as you admire the gentle fields dotted with silvery olive groves, tiny ancient parish churches, and gold-hued farmhouses. Absorb the beauty of luxuriant vineyards and stop along the way for photos and a visit to a famous local winery. Explore the cellars and learn all about wine production techniques from the expert winery staff.
Continue through flower-filled meadows as you make your way to a boutique winery. Here you’ll enjoy a typical Tuscan lunch (or dinner). Savor the unique flavors of seasonal local specialties while learning about the estate's approach to winemaking. Your host will lead you through a tasting of olive oil as you enjoy the ambiance.
