FROM DENISE
Our Vespa adventure through the vineyards of Tuscany began with a bus ride to Chianti where we were taught to ride the vespas for about 20 minutes before heading out.
Our tour guide took us through the hills telling us about the history of the region, its society and the importance of the wine production.
After about 2 hours of riding around out guide took us to a manor where he showed us where the lord used to live and and explained how they used to make wine and olive oil. Then we went to a more modern resort for lunch, which consisted of a greek salad and pasta. We were allowed to cool off in a pool and just relax under the shade of their trees. Next, we rode the vespas again for another hour or so to a huge castle called Monteriggioni where we had a wine and honey tasting. Then we were back on the Vespas for a return ride to their farm.
Riding the Vespas was extremely thrilling! It was something I wanted to do because the landscape was absolutely gorgeous and it just felt so Italian to be riding a motoscooter through the Italian countryside! It is definitely a day I will always remember!
Ciao!
Denise
