Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Florence à Greve in Chianti

This ride takes you from the historic heart of Florence down into the rolling vineyards of Greve in Chianti—a classic Tuscan adventure! Setting off from Florence, you’ll leave behind its Renaissance domes and city buzz, trading cobbled streets for the tranquil countryside. The route is just under 45 km with a spirited amount of climbing (over 1,100 meters ascent!), so get ready for some leg-burning hills but stellar panoramas.

You’ll transition between quiet roads and tracks, cruising past olive groves and cypress-lined lanes. Expect a mix of surfaces: a bit of smooth asphalt, some gravel, and stretches where you’ll feel the authentic Tuscan earth beneath your wheels—perfect if you like a little variety in your ride.

After the climbs, you’ll reach Greve in Chianti, the region’s wine hub, famous for its charming square and seriously good gelato. Grab a post-ride glass of Chianti Classico and soak in those vineyard views—you’ve earned it!
