      Self-Guided Cycling Experience

      Tuscany Bike Tour with Picnic in the Chianti Hills

      Pedal through vineyard-lined roads and pause for a countryside picnic in the heart of Tuscany.

      This self-guided Tuscany bike tour invites you to explore the iconic rolling hills of the Chianti region at your own pace, covering vineyards, olive groves, and centuries-old villages over a full day of cycling. A prepared Tuscan picnic awaits you midway through the route, set in a scenic open-air location chosen for its views and tranquility.

      Departing from Barberino Tavarnelle, riders follow curated maps through some of the most photographed countryside in Italy. The route weaves past cypress-lined lanes and stone hamlets that have changed little over the past few centuries.

      The experience suits couples, groups of friends, and families comfortable with moderate cycling terrain. Optional detours through local wineries and villages such as San Donato and Castellina in Chianti allow riders to shape the day according to their interests.

      E-bike delivery to your accommodation is available as an add-on, making the logistics straightforward whether you are staying in the valley or closer to San Gimignano.
