Siena E-Bike Wine and Arts Tour

E-bike tour that takes you through the fascinating hills of the Chianti, crossing the iconic gravel roads of the Eroica, revealing, in a slow and contemplative way, an area rich in food and wine traditions, cradle of the famous Chianti Classico wine and proud of its tradition and culture linked to the long rivalry between Siena and Florence. In addition to it, this tour has an Arts footprint. We'll lead you through some hidden sculptures, located throughout the landscape, as a warm up to our stop at the Chianti Sculpture Park, where you'll visit some contemporary sculptures and installations. We'll build on to the arts experience by stopping at the hamlet of Scopeto, where the film "Letters to Juliet" has been shot. Least, but not last, it will be wine time right after at the Scopeto Winery, where you can further develop your reconnaissance of the territory by tasting one of its maximum expression: the Chianti Classico. We then, climb back to our comfortable ebikes to return to Siena
