Discover Greve in Chianti and Castello di Verrazzano: An Authentic Stop on Your Vespa Tours Tuscany Adventure

When people dream of Tuscany, they often imagine golden hills, vineyards stretching into the horizon, quiet medieval villages, and a slower, more meaningful pace of life. With Vespa Tours Tuscany, that dream becomes a vivid, unforgettable experience. One of the most scenic and culturally rich stops on your Tuscan Vespa journey is Greve in Chianti, a historic town known for its wine, tradition, and proximity to the Castello di Verrazzano, a place where history, wine, and landscape come together in perfect harmony.

E-dway’s Chianti Electric Vespa Rental and Castle Visit & Tasting tour makes it easy to explore this area in the most iconic Italian way possible—on a Vespa. Whether you’re riding solo, as a couple, or in a group, this tour offers an authentic and eco-friendly way to explore the best of Tuscany.

Why Choose Vespa Tours Tuscany?

Tuscany is best experienced slowly. It’s not a place to rush through—it’s a place to savor, much like its wines and cuisine. Vespa Tours Tuscany combine the thrill of exploration with the charm of the open countryside, allowing travelers to connect with the landscape, culture, and people of the region in a personal, immersive way.

Riding a Vespa through Tuscany isn’t just about getting from point A to point B. It’s about the journey itself—feeling the breeze on your face, smelling the vineyards, hearing the cicadas in the summer heat, and stopping wherever your heart tells you to. And with E-dway’s electric Vespas, the experience becomes even more enjoyable—silent, sustainable, and stylish.

Your Route: From Florence to the Heart of Chianti

The tour begins in Florence, where you’ll pick up your electric Vespa and receive all necessary equipment, including a helmet, a GPS-based app with your route, and helpful tips from the E-dway team. From there, you’ll follow a curated path that winds through the Chianti countryside—past vineyards, stone farmhouses, and sunflower fields—toward Greve in Chianti, one of the most beloved wine towns in Italy.

The ride itself is nothing short of spectacular. You’ll pass through villages like Impruneta and Montefioralle, soaking in the views and enjoying the quiet beauty of Tuscany far from the usual crowds.

Greve in Chianti: Wine, Culture, and Tradition

Located just 30 km south of Florence, Greve in Chianti is a small town with a big reputation. Its charming triangular piazza is lined with porticos, artisan shops, and cafés serving local wine and Tuscan fare. The weekly market here has been held for centuries and is the perfect place to mingle with locals and taste products like honey, pecorino cheese, olive oil, and salumi.

Greve is more than just a town—it’s the cultural and commercial heart of the Chianti Classico wine region. It serves as a hub for surrounding wineries, many of which are family-owned and open for tastings. But the most famous and unmissable stop lies just a few minutes uphill…

Castello di Verrazzano: A Timeless Tuscan Experience

Standing proudly above the valley, surrounded by terraced vineyards and cypress trees, is the Castello di Verrazzano. This historic castle dates back over 1,000 years and was the birthplace of Giovanni da Verrazzano, the explorer who first charted the coast of North America, including the bay of modern-day New York City (the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is named after him).

Today, the castle is a prestigious organic winery that produces award-winning Chianti Classico wines using traditional methods with modern precision. Visiting Castello di Verrazzano is not just about wine—it’s about history, hospitality, and heritage.

What to Expect at the Castle:

• Guided Tour of the Cellars: Wander through centuries-old wine cellars where oak barrels line the ancient stone halls. Learn how winemaking has evolved and discover the unique characteristics of the Verrazzano terroir.
• Tasting Lunch: Sit down for a delightful wine-paired lunch on the castle’s terrace or in its elegant tasting rooms. Enjoy a flight of Verrazzano wines—from fresh whites to deep Chianti reds—accompanied by local products such as cured meats, cheeses, and traditional Tuscan dishes.
• Panoramic Views: From the castle grounds, take in 360° views of the Chianti countryside. The landscape itself is worth the trip: orderly vineyards roll into the distance, interrupted only by olive trees and rustic villas.

Each part of the experience is curated to give you a genuine sense of place—and each sip of wine tells a story of tradition, land, and passion.
