Tuscany Bike Tour Attractions

Undertaking a Tuscan bike tour unlike a wine country bike tour, entails riding through the appeasing greenery; cypress pine lined pathways and across the gothic forts roosted atop the exuberant mountains.

Having a look at the masterworks of the Renaissance, crossing the eternal leas of vineyards and olive trees on a bicycle can make your trip a lifetime memory. Right from the beautiful town of Montepulciano to Siena and Chianti, the mountainous and tough terrain will challenge your Tuscany bike tour. But the yummy Vino Nobile, Super Tuscan and Sangiovese grape variety would make you forget the strain and pain within minutes.

The scrumptious freshly roasted pici pasta and the super fresh bruschetta toasted in the local variants of super quality olive oil would help you finish each day of your Tuscany bike tour with exalted opulence.

The memories of the blood battle of Monteaperti and the grand duchy of Tuscany are worth visiting, for the memories they can imprint in your minds and heart for the rest of your lifetime.

While the terrain along the Tuscany bike tour is mixed, the road traffic is minimal. The most optimal time for Tuscany bike tour would be during the months from March through November.
Some of the must-sees include a visit to the 12th century castle, tasting the yummy wines at the vineyards and relishing the traditional olio of Tuscany. Roaming around the streets of Montepulciano, a loop ride at Pienza, the stunning bike ride via the rolling terrain of Montefollonico – Montalcino, bike touring  at Siena, the countryside of Tuscany, biking the greener pastures of Radda in Chianti, riding through the hills of Castellina and site seeing the reminiscent of the medieval period at San Gimignano are other adventurous and full filled attractions around.  A short visit to the Frantoio located within the castle, the famous olive oil production facility at Tuscany is also interesting and would make the trip memorable.
