    One of Italy’s most beautiful and beloved regions, Tuscany has earned every accolade and exaltation bestowed upon it. While some come for the sun and to be seen, we’ve got better plans: sumptuous spreads laid out by close friends, behind-the-scenes tours of medieval towns, wine tastings with award-winning oenologists, and spectacular biking through picturesque hills. As much as we appreciate the comfort of its fine hotels, it’s the rustic charms that capture our imagination. Tuscany is magical. Believe the hype.

     

    Trip Highlights

    • Enjoy gourmet picnics in the Tuscan countryside midway through your rides.

    • Learn about the history of Italian wine in places such as private estates and Chianti vineyards.

    • Cycle through tiny villages such as Radda and Gaiole in Chianti.
