Full description
Climb into the saddle of a quad bike and enjoy driving through the trails of the Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve.
With our quad bike tour, you will tackle a one-and-a-half-hour itinerary of fords, dirt road descents and moderately technical passages to fully enjoy driving the quad bike and the beautiful natural landscape.
Once out of the woods, the experience transforms and becomes eno-gastronomic. In fact, you will reach the La Pierotta agritourism farm, where you will take a short tour of the cellars and indulge in a tasting session with four glasses of wine and lots of goodies based on typical local products.
What we will do
We will meet the guide at 15:00 in Scarlino (GR). After a short briefing in which we will be given all the information about the route and the operation of the quad bike, we will climb into the saddle and set off at 15:30.
The first part of the route is all asphalt, a feature that will allow us to test driving the quad bike with more ease.
We will then reach Pian D'Alma, our gateway to the Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve. This is a 9,000-hectare protected area that owes its curious name to the custom in times gone by of holding auctions for the sale of portions of the forest. Today, the area is a kind of paradise of fragrant Mediterranean scrub.
And it is precisely from the Bandite di Scarlino that our quad bike adventure begins. We will lock the rear differential for greater off-road traction and plunge into the Mediterranean maquis. Along the way we will enjoy unforgettable scenery and have fun between moderately technical passages, fords and climbs.
As we leave the woods we will be greeted by the distant view of Scarlino Castle, which dominates the medieval village from a height of 230 metres, and we will head towards the La Pierrotta farmhouse, where the Rustici family and their wines await us. We will then take a short tour of the cellar, during which we will discover a few little secrets of winemaking.
We will then enjoy a tasting of 4 glasses of wine and typical local products (included). We will stop at the farmhouse for a pleasant hour, with which we will conclude our tour in relaxation.
Between briefing, quad bike ride and tasting, the activity lasts a total of 2½ hours.
