CyclingThe cycling in Tuscany is some of the best you will find. The roads have fantastic pavement, very little traffic, & surreal scenery. Our daily 30 - 40 mile rides take us through rolling farm land, medieval towns and fabulous vineyards. We use Focus light weight carbon fiber bikes, equipped with Shimano Ultegra compact cranks and lightweight wheel sets to keep you zooming along

Food & WineOur food and wine focus includes two different cooking courses where we prepare our entire dinner from scratch one of which is held at a wonderful organic farm. Our wine tours and evening tastings feature some of the best vineyards in Montalcino (Altesino, Casa Nova di Neri), home to Italy's famous Brunello wines.
