The culmination of everything
we know about Tuscany
This is our classic Tuscany trip, a perfect expression of the Mangia, Beve, Bici experience. Back when he was still a professional cyclist, our founder João Correia dreamed of sharing this incredible place with like-minded travellers.
Riding in Chianti is characterised by sweeping panoramas, winding ribbons of perfect tarmac, challenging climbs and thrilling descents. Over the course of your stay you'll meet local artisans and culinary masters, all eager to give you a taste of real Tuscany.

Your week in Tuscany
Benvenuti in Italia! Our first ride is an easy spin to shake off the cobwebs, heading south through quiet Chianti countryside past the stunning Castello di Brolio.
We climb toward Radda before turning to Castellina, exploring the original Lega del Chianti. Incredible views after the left turn at Colombaio at 35km.
Our most sustained climbing day. After Panzano, we climb on tiny roads with views north toward Florence. A long, technical descent out of Albola follows the summit.
A relaxed ride to the fortified village of Volpaia, followed by a captivating walking tour of medieval Siena including Piazza del Campo.
Gentle rolling hills climbing to the medieval castle of Monteluco di Lecchi. From this fortress dating to 1176, you can see the entire Massellone Valley.
South toward Montalcino through the Crete Senesi clay landscapes. Famous for white truffles. The ridge south of Arbia provides unforgettable views on our final big ride.
After a leisurely breakfast, it's time for arrivederci. Transfers to the airport are arranged. Our concierge can help with hand-picked recommendations if you're extending your stay.
