Chianti makes a fine base from which to explore central Tuscany. As a wine region, it’s different than Burgundy or Piemonte’s Langhe in that the entire countryside isn’t entirely devoted to grapes. There are forested hills, castles and olive trees all around. Historic centers of Siena and Florence are a day’s pedal away. A vacation rental around Greve in Chianti allows you to have a great place to store your ride (or your hiking boots).
Throughout Italy there are places where people congregate to start their hikes and biking tours. Refie is one of those places. You can rent a ground floor apartment there. It’s on top of Chianti’s highest hill, so it’s an easy place to start off from.
Chianti is enjoying a renaissance in wine quality, and merchants are proud to pour their latest offerings.
And of course, fine food goes with fine wine, and you won’t be disappointed in the Cucina Toscana in these parts.
Try an active vacation in Tuscany. If nothing else, all that exercise you get from traversing the rolling Chianti hills will allow you to eat more. And in these parts, that’s not a bad thing at all.
