Tuscany Scooter Rental: a Day in Chianti from Luca Magnoni on Vimeo.
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”

Follow our locally-based guide up and over Monteluco to the other side of the Arno river. We know how to cross the Arno, the railroad tracks and the Autostrada on small, quiet roads rather than the usual busy routes. 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!). Our ride takes us on lovely country roads through small hamlets and villages nestled beneath the Pratomagno mountains. Just before returning to Radda, we stop for a cool drink high up near the 1,000-year-old watchtower at Montegrossi. One final twisting descent takes up back to Radda.

Follow our locally-based guide up and over Mugello, to the Northern side of the Arno river on small, quiet roads rather than the usual busy routes. Our ride takes us on lovely country roads through small hamlets and villages nestled beneath the Mugello mountains. San Piero a Sieve is our first destionation, and we can admire its imposing Medieval walls and Medici-style architecture, then we continue on to a winery for a visit and tasting (not too much!). You can learn to taste your wine and look for specific fruits and grapes taste in it: many grapes will also show a spectrum of possible fruit scents that help you to identify the growing conditions—cool climate, moderate or very warm—of the vineyard. After the wine tasting, we will hop back on our Vespas for a ride to the lovely village of Fiesole, affording breathtaking views over downtown Florence... but not only that! Fiesole is an old Etruscan town, with a stunning cathedral and even a Roman theater, so, whether you would just like to stop for a few minutes to sip a cappuccino or for a more in-depth visit of the monuments, Fiesole will surprise you with its typical Tuscan charme. One final twisting descent takes up back to Florence.

We are proud to announce our Special Vespa Club Rally Tours for 2018 – the fruit of our membership of Florence Vespa Club. These tours are designed by Scooter Enthusiasts for Scooter Enthusiasts.
Please read below or go directly to our 2018 dates
(click on this photo to be redirected to the video of the last Florence Winter Rally)
All our Rally Tours begin from one of our rental locations, either via Il Prato 50r, in Florence or via Trento Trieste 12, in Radda in Chianti. We’re planning to ride to the starting point of each Rally (all start in Tuscany). For some rallies this could mean a 2-hr ride, so, as an alternative, we may decide to load the Vespas onto a trailer and go by car.
Once we arrive at the rally, our small shoal of Vespa fish will merge with the huge, colourful sea of Vespas from clubs all around Italy and abroad. Some will be modern and quirky, some vintage, some sleek and smooth and every one will have a rider as proud as we are to be taking part in the rally.
Rally Prices
€150 per Vespa rider and €80 per back-seat passenger.
Guide, Vespa rental, helmet rental, fuel, third party liability insurance, rally enrolment and lunch are included. Contact us for more info: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
