Tuscany By Vespa Small Group Tour

No experience required – beginners are welcome! Jump on this thrilling adventure with us: this is your chance to experience CHIANTI from another point of view. With a short ride our minibus will take you into the rolling Chianti countryside where you can enjoy the fresh air and breathtaking views all around you. The first stage of this thrilling activity is an ORIENTATION SESSION led by an English speaking trained professional, ensuring the safe operation of the Vespas before we head out for an enlightening and enjoyable ride. A DRIVING TEST in an enclosed space will be held to understand if everyone has enough confidence and safety on the Vespa to drive on open roads. Then you’re off! The ride, along scenic country roads, takes you amongst vineyards, olive trees and Medieval villages, stopping for photo opportunities during the ride. You will visit a famous winery, producing the world renowned Chianti red wine, visiting its fascinating cellars and learning all the secets of wine production.

The Vespa ride will end at a smaller boutique, where you will be offered a typical Tuscan meal backed up by a pleasant wine tasting of fine local wines as well as an olive oil tasting in the heart of the Chianti. There’s also the chance to buy at competitive prices if you’re interested. Share this exciting experience with your travel companions and bring home an interesting booklet on wine and the Chianti territory...that's our treat!
