Quad excursion in the Chianti hills with tasting

Explore the beautiful Tuscan countryside, discover the rolling hills where the eye is lost among vineyards and rows of cypress trees , and breathe in the tranquillity of these areas, broken only by the roar of the quad bike engine.

You will travel along white roads and dirt tracks, starting out from Asciano, in the province of Siena, and heading into the Chianti Classico area and the Crete Senesi, for 4 hours of excitement, fun and adventure.

A tour in Chianti cannot end without tasting one of Italy's finest wines. During the tour, in fact, you will stop at alocal winery for a tasting of labels and home-made food!

What we will do

We will meet 30 minutes before the selected time in Asciano, in the province of Siena, where we will be welcomed by the guide who will give us a tour of the farm and instruct us on the use of the quads. After a theoretical briefing, we will climb into the saddle and begin to get familiar with the vehicle by taking driving tests on an internal circuit.

When we are ready, we will leave the estate and head into the beautiful Tuscan countryside, amidst delightful natural landscapes and pretty villages nestling in the greenery. We will ride a section of the famous 'Eroica', the famous route through the Chianti region that attracts thousands of tourists and cyclists every year.

We will cross the Crete Senesi, with the typical rows of cypress trees that outline the hilly paths. We will stop at various points to breathe in the scents of the vegetation and take evocative photographs. Then it will be time to set off again to reach alocal winery, where we will stop for an excellent tasting session (included) that includes three wines, Cinta Senese cured meats accompanied by bread croutons, and sheep's milk cheeses from the Crete Senesi combined with compotes and jams, all homemade!

The activity lasts a total of 4 hours and ends with the return to the starting point. Between the outward and return journey, we will cover a total of approximately 60 km.
