Overview

Cypress roads, small villages on top of hill, hot springs, abbey immersed in park, group of cypress, this self-guided tour covers this small but stunning part of Tuscany! Discover the beauty of Montepulciano, Pienza, Val d 'Orcia, Montalcino and its famous Brunello wine, and Siena, as well as many little medieval villages on your ride every day. This is a relaxed tour with three-night stays in 2 different hill towns, so you are not always packing. If you wish to take a day off from riding you can sightsee, have a wine tasting, and walk along beautiful paths. Food and wine are highlights of this trip, we suggest local trattorie where you'll taste the local homemade pasta pici, the local cheese pecorino, as well as typical appetizers bruschetta and crostini, while sipping great wine!
