| Route | Days | Km | Stops | What you taste | Driving character | Guided | Tastings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strada Chiantigiana SR 222 Florence to Siena | 1 | 72 | 5 | A proper ridge road: second and third gear through the hairpins above Greve, open sweepers on the Castellina stretch, slow coach traffic in July and August. | 12 | from €35 | |
| Strada del Vino Nobile Sinalunga to San Casciano dei Bagni | 2 | 73 | 7 |
Valdichiana ToscanaDOC
Vino Nobile di MontepulcianoDOCG
|
Open ridge running above the Valdichiana: long sightlines, gentle gradients, and the only slow kilometres are the cypress switchbacks up to each town gate. | 8 | by request |
| Strada del Vino Costa degli Etruschi Bolgheri to Populonia | 1 | 63 | 4 | Mostly flat and fast between the cypress rows, with quick dual-carriageway hops on the SS1; the only real climbing is the last kilometre up to each hilltop village. | 2 | from €60 | |
| Brunello and Rosso loop Montalcino to Sant'Angelo in Colle | 1 | 30 | 4 |
Brunello di MontalcinoDOCG
Sant'AntimoDOC
|
Short, steep and slow: single-lane hill roads in second gear, a white-gravel shortcut if you dare, and more tractors than coaches once you leave the fortress car parks. | 6 | from €60 |
Tastings show the lowest listed estate price on each road. Guided tours match to routes automatically as partners list them.
