Our guide to Tuscany by Vespa from Florence
Drive along scenic and silent country roads through the hillside of Tuscany on a Vespa admiring the sights, smells and sounds of the Chianti region!
Our comfortable minivan will take you to the countryside and will be available in case of any need during the tour. With a short ride, you will be taken just outside of the busy and bustling city centre. First, you will receive an orientation conducted by an English-speaking trained professional, ensuring the safe operation of the Vespas before we head out for our engaging 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.
The ride, along scenic country roads will offer splendid views of the rolling hillside, vineyards and olive groves, little medieval churches and ancient wineries. You will have plenty of time to stop for photos along the way.
Visit a famous winery, producing some of the most appreciated Chianti wines, and enjoy a guided tour of their cellars, where you will learn all the secrets of wine production.
You will end the Vespa ride at a boutique winery, learning their approach to winemaking and ending your memorable experience with a typical Tuscan lunch that will be served with a wine and olive oil tasting.
