It’s hard to imagine that anybody ever visits Tuscany only once. Even in a car it's great - on a bike it's sublime.
We explore the region to the south of Florence in a week that includes some of the finest wine regions of Italy as well as the fabulous renaissance architecture. We start our week close to San Gimignano, one of the jewels of Tuscany, which we visit on Sunday morning. This walled city is rated as a 3 star attraction by Michelin, "worth a journey in itself", and the most striking features are the 14 remaining "tower houses". From San Gimignano we head off into Chianti. This has become perhaps the most famous wine region in Italy, and during our two-day visit to the region we'll visit top growers in Panzano, Greve in Chianti and Radda in Chianti.
Montalcino and Montepulciano are both stunning hill top towns in the south of Tuscany, and at the end of the week we visit top wine makers in each of these highly traditional wine regions. In the middle of the week we visit Siena with it's amazing scallop-shaped piazza del Campo, home to the world's most ridiculous horse-race, the Palio. With its amazing cathedral, or Duomo, and the huge di Medici tower overlooking the Campo, Siena is completely unforgettable.
It's difficult to sum up Tuscany in a few paragraphs. The food is gourmet food, the wines are great, the scenery stunning, the history almost mind-blowing. And on our bikes, we see the best of one of the world's most interesting regions.
