What to expect

Chianti countryside and San Gimignano area

You spend the day exploring the Chianti area around the hills of San Gimignano by Vespa in a small-group setting, with a maximum of 7 Vespas. The route follows scenic paved public roads that reveal the region’s agricultural landscape and hilltop medieval towns.

Features

Your own 50cc Vespa scooter with automatic transmission lets you discover off-the-beaten-path routes while your engaging, professional tour leader sets the pace and shares context about the Chianti countryside.

The ride cruises around rolling vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages, with winding roads that open up to views of the medieval town of San Gimignano and its towers from different vantage points.

An orientation and driving test before departure ensures riders with previous scooter experience are comfortable with the vehicle, and third-party insurance, helmet, and fuel are all included for a straightforward day.

Midway, you stop at a local winery for a typical Tuscan lunch, where a 3-course meal is paired with tastings and premium extra virgin olive oil sampling that highlights the region’s culinary traditions.
