2024: Tuscany will run with the AMC

Southern Tuscany is a dream place to cycle...........like riding through a farmers market, complete with small, venita directa farms & vineyards selling wonderful cheeses, cured meats, honeys and great red wine! Daily rides average 30 - 40 miles through rolling Tuscan farmland and medieval villages . Our Tuscan trips feature 2 cooking courses, numerous vineyard tours & tastings of top Brunello estates. Evenings are filled with sunsets & wine tastings after which we stroll to dinner in the towns we are staying. Our accommodations are at 3* & 4* inns and include fantastic courtyard breakfasts.

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.

AccommodationsWe stay at 3* & 4* Inns with spacious rooms, great gardens and some of the best sunsets you will ever see. Each evening before dinner we will gather in the garden and catch sunset as we reminisce about the days adventure. Each inn features fantastic buffet breakfasts complete with wonderful baked goods, meats, cheeses and Italian coffee.
