This journey explores a lesser-known side of Tuscany, combining the rolling hills of the Pisa region with the coastline of the Costa degli Etruschi.
We pick you up at your accomodation and we move into the countryside south of Pisa, riding through quiet roads, vineyards, and small villages such as Lari—home to one of Italy’s most historic pasta producers—Terricciola, a renowned wine area, and Peccioli, known for its contemporary art installations. Along the way, we include selected stops with local producers, from traditional pasta makers to boutique wineries.
The route continues to Volterra, a striking Etruscan hill town with dramatic views over the surrounding countryside, before gradually opening toward the sea. From Lajatico, home to the famous Teatro del Silenzio, we ride through Mediterranean landscapes to the coast, passing through villages like Casale Marittimo and Riparbella, and reaching the seaside around Cecina and Bibbona.
A rest day includes a private boat excursion to Elba Island, known for its clear waters and rugged coastline.
In the second part of the trip, we explore iconic perched town such a Campiglia, Suvereto and Sassetta and the wine areas of Castagneto and Bolgheri, finishing with a private tasting at Tenuta Ornellaia, one of Italy’s most prestigious wineries. The final ride follows the Etruscan Coast, from the archaeological site of Populonia overlooking the sea to the coastal views of Baratti and Piombino.
