Itinerary
Start of the tour and bicycle riding until the village of Geggiano, where we make a short pause for storytelling and pictures
In this hamlet we make a short pause in the outer part of the Castle to discover the importance of the Bianchi Bandinelli family, the lords of this area, and the production of the Chianti Classico. Picture moment as we can contemplate the Siena's Skyline.
From this point, the landscape assumes hilly shapes, with cypresses decorating the roads, and castles that reign over the territory. It is the moment of the famous gravel white roads of the Chianti Classico, known for the Eroica race. We pass in front the Vallepicciola Winery, before accessing the Castles Roads. Along the way, we'll make stops for pictures and storytelling
While roaming through the white gravel roads, some hidden pieces of art start showing up within the landscape. It is a preamble of our next stop in the Chianti's Sculpture Park, where you'll have free time to explore the permanent exhibition of up to 27 works, among installations and sculptures.
We make a stop for pictures and some storytelling at this hamlet that has become famous for the being present in the film "Letters to Juliet".

About Siena
Siena is a medieval Tuscan hill city of red-brown brick, known for its shell-shaped main square, its striped cathedral and the twice-yearly Palio.
Siena was Florence's great rival in the Middle Ages, and its historic centre, a UNESCO site, still looks much as it did then. Il Campo, the shell-shaped square, slopes down to the Palazzo Pubblico and its slender tower, the Torre del Mangia. The cathedral, striped in white and dark green marble, has a pavement of inlaid scenes and a library of painted manuscripts.
Top-ranked sights in Siena: Piazza del Campo, Siena Cathedral (Duomo di Siena), Mangia Tower (Torre del Mangia).
