Guided Siena Bike Tour Wineries and Castles

Le Corti Winery, San Casciano
(Included in tour price) The Le Corti winery is owned by Prince Corsini. His family purchased this property in 1472. Today the farm produces traditional Chianti Classico wines as well as organic extra virgin olive oils. Tour the cellars, the olive mill, and a beautiful Renaissance garden.

Il Molino di Grace Winery, Panzano
(Free entrance) Il Molino di Grace (the ‘windmill of grace’) is the brainchild of American entrepreneur Frank Grace. This winery opened its doors in 1999 and produces critically acclaimed Tuscan wines. Cycling by you can’t miss the bold sculpture of two figures carrying grapes.

Badia a Coltibuono Winery, Radda
The Badia a Coltibuono estate (which translates to “Abbey of the Good Harvest”) was founded by Vallombrosan monks in the 11th century and immediately became a center for wine production. Today the abbey is privately owned and still produces premium organic wines.

Brolio Castle, Radda
The Brolio Castle dates from the 11th century and has been property of the Ricasoli family since 1141. The castle tour includes the Italian gardens, the family chapel and tomb, and the living quarters of Baron Ricasoli, a leading figure in Italian history.

Brolio Winery, Radda
(Entrance fee) Brolio is one of Tuscany's largest wineries producing 1.5 million bottles of wine per year. See hundreds of French oak barrels in huge wine cellars. The tour concludes in a magnificent tasting room where you try three estate wines.
