From Florence: Tuscany Vespa Tour with Lunch & Wine

Chianti Vespa Tour from Florence

This Vespa tour from Florence suits adventurous travelers comfortable riding scooters and interested in exploring Chianti’s countryside, vineyards, and medieval villages.

Description

Begin at our Florence office at 9:30am for check-in and required documentation. The tour departs at 10:00am, traveling 40 minutes to the Chianti region while your guide introduces Tuscany’s history, culture, and landscape. Enjoy views of rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves en route.

Unlike typical Vespa tours targeting nearby hills, this experience reaches an exclusive Chianti area near the medieval town of San Gimignano. Arrive at the local headquarters at 10:40am to meet your guide. After a test ride and safety briefing, start your Vespa journey on quiet roads through vineyards, cypress trees, and rural houses, with multiple photo stops.

See the skylines of medieval villages like San Gimignano while your guide shares local stories. Visit a family-run winery to tour vineyards and learn about wine production. Enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch paired with regional wines and extra virgin olive oil.

Continue the ride through the Tuscan countryside to complete the loop. Return to the starting point in the afternoon, complete with photos and memories. Final vehicle checks are done before the group departs back to Florence at 5:00pm.
