Tour of Tuscany: Florence to Montepulciano

Take on our Tour of Tuscany cycling from Florence, through the world-class winelands of Chianti and Montepulciano.

Ride the rolling Chiantigiana to Radda in Chianti and Tuscany’s largest collection of wine, ‘Casa del Chianti’. Follow stages of Giro d’Italia to the towers of San Gimignano and the buzz of Siena’s Piazza del Campo (perfect for a post-ride vino rosso!). Ride the exquisite Val d’Orica and round off your tour with a glass of the reputed Vino di Nobile in medieval Montepulciano.
