A once-in-a-lifetime experience, you’ll pass Tuscan hilltop villas and hillside estates, all woven into the breath-taking panoramic views as you ride through the heart of the region. Half-way, a break will give you the opportunity to visit a typical Terracotta factory and learn how the skilled artisans still create works of art with ancient techniques and traditional materials.
