Tuscany Vespa Tour, Lunch & Wine Tasting
An original & fun way to explore the hidden alleys of Tuscany in a one-day tour
Leave crowded tour buses behind and hop on the two wheels of a zippy Vespa for the ultimate Chianti experience. After a short orientation and skills check at our base, you’ll feel confident and ready to hit the road and explore Tuscany the way it was meant to be seen.
Ride through the rolling countryside and Chianti hills, passing endless vineyards, olive groves, cypress-lined roads, and charming rural villas. Along the way, your guide will lead you through scenic backroads, sharing local stories and insights while allowing plenty of time for photo stops and to fully soak in the landscape.
Travelling in a small group ensures a relaxed pace and more personal attention from your guide, creating a safe, engaging, and truly immersive experience. On the return journey, cruise along the iconic Chianti Road, enjoying breathtaking views that perfectly capture the beauty of the Tuscan countryside before heading back with unforgettable memories of your adventures.

Plan
The experience begins at the Tuscany on Wheels office in Barberino Tavarnelle, conveniently located at the Poggibonsi Nord exit of the Firenze–Siena highway, just 12 km from San Gimignano. You can park for free directly on site or request a paid pickup service that can be booked in advance.
After the meeting with our team and guide, pre-departure procedures, which include a brief safety briefing and a driving test, take place to ensure everyone feels comfortable on the vehicle before setting off. It is important to bring all required documents for the tour.
Once ready, we set off to discover the scenic roads of Tuscany and the Chianti hills, crossing iconic landscapes made of vineyards, cypress trees, and farmhouses. There are several scenic stops along the route, ideal for taking photos and listening to the guide's stories about the history and traditions of the area. The next stop is a local winery, where the owners welcome the group for a tour of the estate, followed by a traditional Tuscan lunch and three tastings of wine and extra-virgin olive oil. This authentic and convivial moment represents one of the most appreciated points of the experience. After the stop, we climb back up on the Vespa for the final part of the route, amidst evocative scenery and new stories, before returning to the starting point in the afternoon. The experience ends with a quick final check of the vehicle, leaving participants with a camera full of memories and hearts full of emotions.
