Itinerary
Days 1-2 Explore some of the region’s most celebrated towns, including Pienza, a World Heritage site famous for pecorino cheese, exquisite ceramics and Renaissance architecture | After savoring a spread of Tuscan specialties, ride cypress-lined roads through southern Tuscany's open undulating terrain into the Val d'Orcia | Montepulciano, with its winding streets and hidden squares, invites a family stroll.
Day 3 Climb by bike through a sea of vineyards to the wine village of Montalcino, where enoteche pour samples and remarkable views reach as far as Siena on a clear day | Check out Abbazia di Monte Oliveto Maggiore, the region's most notable monastery, where monks still pray in Gregorian chant.
Day 4 Engage in a fascinating Q&A session with a renowned local author | Bike past the exposed chalk hills of the Crete Senesi, often depicted in 14th- and 15th-century Florentine and Sienese paintings | Sun-drenched pastures dotted with sheep and crumbling stone farmhouses make way for oak woodland and olive groves | Take some time to explore Siena with your family.
Days 5-6 Ride rolling hills alongside Chianti Classico and Sangiovese vineyards | Get to know ridgetop Radda, the center of Chianti wine production, and if your legs so desire, pedal all the way to Castellina, a medieval village with a unique arcaded passageway | Looking for a gift? Family-owned Ceramiche Rampini offers ceramics hand-painted in the Renaissance tradition.
