Tuscany by Vespa: Small Group Tour from Florence into the Chianti Countryside
Ride a classic Vespa Piaggio through vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages on a guided journey from Florence.
This Tuscany Vespa tour from Florence takes you off the city streets and into the rolling Chianti hills on a classic-style Vespa Piaggio, combining scenic riding with a winery visit, a traditional Tuscan lunch, and guided wine and olive oil tastings.
The tour departs from Piazzale Montelungo, where a brief briefing and a short practice session ensure riders of all experience levels feel confident before heading out. From there, the route winds through one of Italy's most iconic rural landscapes, passing vineyards, olive groves, and stone villages that have changed little over centuries.
A dedicated guide accompanies the group throughout the day, balancing safety with discovery. Several photo stops along the route allow time to take in the scenery and document the journey at a relaxed pace.
The highlight of the afternoon is a visit to a well-regarded local winery, where guests are welcomed into the cellars for an introduction to the production process before sitting down to a typical Tuscan lunch paired with Chianti wines and extra virgin olive oil.

This tour operates in the Chianti wine region of Tuscany, central Italy, departing from Piazzale Montelungo in Florence and travelling south into the Chianti Classico hills, a protected wine production zone between Florence and Siena. The route crosses the municipalities of Greve in Chianti and the broader Chianti Classico DOCG area, known internationally for its Sangiovese-based red wines, ancient stone farmhouses, and densely planted olive groves. Florence itself is the regional capital of Tuscany and one of Europe's most visited cities, making it a natural gateway for countryside excursions. The Chianti hills are characterised by winding country roads, cypress-lined ridges, and medieval borgo villages, several of which date to the 12th and 13th centuries. This geographic combination of urban departure point and rural destination makes the tour accessible to visitors based in Florence who wish to experience the Tuscan countryside without an overnight stay.
