We have dialed in our Tuscany gravel trip for the coming years and hope you can join us in 2025 and beyond. The tour starts in the historical village of San Quirico d’ Orcia where we’ll stay in a well appointed hotel for two nights. From here we’ll ride north to our next destination of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Located in the southern end of the world famous Chianti region it’s a real hidden gem and true locals village. We stay two nights here in a quaint renovated farm turned family run Agritourismo B&B. Continuing north we conclude our time in Chianti with two more nights in Radda in Chianti located in the heart of the region. Our last day we ride through the Tuscan hills into the historical walled city of Siena and finish in the Piazza del Campo, home to the world famous Palio di Siena horse race. We’ll enjoy a final dinner and say farewell before travels to points beyond.
