Let’s abandon cars for a while and devote ourselves to slow time. What ‘s better than joining two passions like bike and wine? Just in few days, in the heart of Tuscany a pleasant event “ Tuscany wine and bike” is taking place, from April the 30th up to May the 2nd 2012. It is something more than sipping a good glass of wine, it is a way of understanding and appreciating wine as final result of a traditional process, deeply rooted in the local culture. Tuscany Holiday Rent suggests you a suitable accommodation in a gorgeous medieval hamlet transformed into a beautiful farmhouse for a short but refreshing holiday. The tour is planned in order to start from the aesthetic contemplation of the landscape made up of vineyards in their glorious springtime blooming to the actual tasting of wine as the due conclusion in several farms. Here the winegrowers will disclose the treasures of their “cantine” (cellars) in a glass of Tuscan wine: different bouquets according to vines and production areas. Little by little the awareness of wine as an age-old knowledge and wisdom gets increasingly clear, enriching past experiences and looking for future curiosities. A training journey aiming at the real pleasure of tasting a glass of wine in a real emotional involvement of the eye, nose and palate. The background of this adventure is as exciting. Cerreto Guidi, Varna, San Miniato, Chianni and San Gimignano are just few stops that fairly represent the different aspects of the Tuscan landscape, a relaxing mixture of natural beauties and historical landmarks. The towers , roads and churches the biker meets stand there as witnesses of a rich past still dialoguing with the present and a permanently significant milestone such as the Via Francigena, the medieval road linking Canterbury to Rome, rightly deserves the respectful homage of believers and of anybody else aware of this cultural heritage.
