Chianti Vespa Tour Itinerary

Join us and other adventure travelers at our office in the heart of the Chianti region, just a few kilometers away from San Gimignano, for a test drive led by your tour leader to ensure the safe operation of the Vespas before we set out for our exciting ride.

Embark on the Vespa ride along quiet and scenic roads through the rolling hills of the Chianti region near the San Gimignano area, where some of the most famous Tuscan wines are produced. Fall in love with the vineyards, cypresses, and Tuscan rural houses as we make several stops for photo opportunities at panoramic points. Along the way, you’ll hear interesting stories about the area and the production of Chianti wine.

Finally, we will arrive at a beautiful local winery surrounded by vineyards. Here, you can unwind and enjoy an authentic Tuscan meal featuring Antipasti (bruschetta, pecorino cheese, cured meat), Ribolita Soup, Lasagna, and Tuscan Cantuccini biscuits for dessert (vegetarian option available), all accompanied by wine, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil tastings.

After lunch, continue the ride through the stunning Tuscan countryside with many stops along the way before returning to our starting point to bid farewell to your new friends and leave the Vespas.
