Tuscany & Umbria Hike & Bike Wine Tour
No Date Currently Scheduled

Our Italy Hike and Bike Wine Adventure takes place in two fantastic provinces: Tuscany and Umbria. Incredible pastas, pizza, and bruschetta. Beautiful scenery with rolling hills and waving wheat fields. Hilltop medieval towns with winding streets and inviting shops. Country paths and roads you share only with a few locals. And oh - the vino!

We start our tour with three days of hiking in Tuscany, the province made even more famous by the book and movie "Under the Tuscan Sun". The wines, including Vino Nobile and Brunello, are some of Italy's best - and any Italian will tell you Italian wine is the best available. The scenery is spectacular and the historic towns provide the perfect excuse to do a little shopping or sample the local delicacies. Perhaps most importantly, Tuscany is hilly and hiking is a great way to see the area's postcard scenery.

We then switch to Umbria and our bikes. Umbria is just as beautiful as Tuscany, although less well known. In addition, it boasts the Valle di Umbria, a flat valley that makes for a perfect complement to rolling Tuscany. The short routes during our biking days are generally flat with an occasional climb to a worthy hilltop town. The long bike routes head off to the valley's sides for more strenuous cycling. You choose the route but, either way, you'll be rewarded with incredible food and local wines, including the delectable Umbria Sagrantino.

Hiking in Tuscany and biking in Umbria provides us with the best of the area and the most suitable activity for each province. We don't know why more people don't do it this way.
