Before hitting the open road we will have an orientation and safety talk (pls note this will NOT be a driving lesson). We head out on a very quiet stretch of road so you can get used to driving your Vespa. Indeed, this day is designed to get you very well acquainted with your Vespa. We then ride along two scenic ridge roads that offer wonderful views over the romantic Tuscan landscape and we arrive beneath the shadow of the mighty Brolio castle. We enjoy a short walk up to the castle to visit the park and gardens of this magnificent and historic building. After the visit, a thirty-minute ride takes us to the town of Gaiole or Castellina, where you will have free time to enjoy the view from the medieval walls and check out its antique shops and cafés and then enjoy a light Tuscan lunch in a local restaurant. After lunch, one last beautiful ride on our trusty Vespas takes us back to the village of Radda where we will end our adventure.

Upon your arrival, it will be held a short briefing with our small group of new friends, in which you will be introduced about the itinerary and how to ride on the roads.  After wearing the helmet you can enjoy your ride on  the mythic “Italian two wheels”, discovering rare city corners,  breathtaking views, ancient hamlets and unforgettable landscapes offering you a great opportunity for a fantastic “photographic adventure”! After riding through the “Oltrarno” quarter,  the most characteristic and authentic City’s side,  we ride along the sinuous road up to the hill which dominates the Piazzale Michelangelo, where you can enjoy the most  astonishing and spectacular view  of Florence,  where you visit  “San Miniato al Monte”, the wonderful Romanesque Basilica  of the year 1000, preserving great art treasures. After having taken beautiful pictures as “post cards”,  we keep moving forward, riding to  the Chianti Region,  letting us cradle by the sinuous  curves across the gentle hills of the famous Tuscan countryside, in the peace of the nature, kissed by the sun and caressed  by the wind. Once arrived at the small Chianti hamlet, we have a stop at the characteristic organic farm, where we can taste an high-quality wine  accompanied by cheese and extra virgin  olive oil, all own-growing organic products.   

These typical Chianti products are made without  any synthetic fertilizers, using the same processing methods which were used by our grandparents and this really makes the difference in taste.  After  the products tasting  and the visit of the farm-estate, we ride again enjoying along the “Chiantigiana road” which is renown and famous for its landscapes of unspeakable beauty, surrounded by  gentle hills, parish churches, castles and villas, spotted by vineyards and olive tree groves whose genuine products make famous in the world this beautiful  corner of Tuscany.  Riding  along  the cypress tree –lined  road, we get to another hamlet  laid down on a splendid hill, which is famous for the “Tuscan Cotto tile”,  a  popular high –quality material used for roofs, walls and floors  of many houses.  Here we visit the typical square flanked by a Renaissance balusters and round arched loggias  and the suggestive Basilica of the XI century. While returning to Florence, once again we can enjoy a wonderful panorama along the road, the best way to end  this fantastic experience, riding the legendary and original Italian scooter “Vespa”

We take you to a winery for a visit and tasting (you have to spit!) followed by lunch at an excellent countryside trattoria. Then we pop in to visit the lovely medieval village of Loro Ciuffenna, stopping along the way for a gelato at a gelateria that has been rated the 5th best in all of Italy by “La Repubblica” (and there are some 80,000 gelaterias in Italy!).
