Ride through Florence out into the Tuscan Hills with a stop at a countryside venue in the Florentine hills for a Tuscan appetizer accompanied by a glass of Chianti wine and olive oil tasting with fresh bread. 

Our meeting point is located at the doorway to the Chianti countryside thus avoiding a ride through the throngs of tourists in the center of Florence. The ride starts with a 1 km uphill ride, frequent stops will be made to enjoy the views on the way up to the top of the hill.

Once we arrive at the top, we will be riding our bikes through the neighborhood of the local Florentine nobility and their villas making our way to a country venue tucked away in the hills behind Florence.

We will stop and tour the gardens of the location before relaxing with a glass of Chianti wine and olive oil tasting accompanied by a light Tuscan snack of local products.

Our return leg back to Florence will take us by the spectacular San Miniato al Monte, one of the best views of Florence where we will stop for pictures. We continue downhill from there and back into Florence, coming into the San Niccolo' area, and a ride to our favorite gelateria to top off the perfect half-day outing!
