Vespa and Chianti:
Two Italian classics that have come to sym-bolize la dolce vita.
Bringing them together is a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience that
promises to capture the heart, soul and es-sence of Italy: several
days in
central Tuscany filled with scenic day-trips throughout the Chianti
countryside aboard your very own Vespa scooter!
The Wines of Tuscany
Chianti is produced in eight distinct zones and adjacent areas that
cover a vast territory of central Tuscany, around the original core of
Chianti Classico. In those gorgeously rugged hills variations in soil
and climate contribute as much to the individuality of each authentic
estate wine as do winemakers' quests for creative styles.
Hit the open road on your own Vespa scooter on this guided tour of
Tuscany's Chianti wine region. You spend one night in Florence and
then five full days of touring on our 125 cc Vespa scooters. Traveling
by Vespa is fun and easy. Our new scooters have an electric start and
automatic transmission. Your local guide will lead you along quiet
back roads amongst olive groves and vineyards to storybook castles and
hilltop villages. This is a great holiday which combines the freedom
and exhilaration of touring by Vespa with the delicious food, wine,
and romantic landscapes of Tuscany.
Tuscany is a charmed land, equally blessed by the genius of
humans and nature, and often by the combined efforts of both. Think of
the vineyards: rows of baby green vines that manage somehow to march
in arrow-straight formation up the gently rolling hillsides, bounded
by single files of darker green cypress trees, snaking sandy roads
leading to rust-colored farmhouses and moss-coated castles,
symmetrically rounded hilltops surmounted by towns so homogeneous as
to seem one single building. Every inch of land has been sculpted,
first by the elements and then by generations of inhabitants whose
goals were always twofold: make the land produce as much as possible,
make the land as beautiful as possible. Tuscany enchants us today
because it holds together as a region, from the tiniest hamlet to
Florence the Magnificent. For the living proof, take a short walk one
day along the sides of the Belvedere in Florence: you will leave
behind the traffic and suddenly find yourself strolling down quiet
lanes bounded by tall stone walls, cypress trees and creamy-colored
villas. You could be anywhere in Tuscany, and we dare you not to
fantasize about living here.
This is one of the most authentic ways to visit Tuscany! Stay in
beautiful hotels while exploring Italy's countryside in fresh air.
Enchanting and mysterious scents fill the air as you approach a
typical Tuscan market. Ride through Siena's winding streets. This
is a very different vacation: a uniqe way of transportation, lots of
Italian culture, gourmet food & luxurious accommodation!
