Embark on an unforgettable motorcycle journey from the heart of the old Roman Empire to the cradle of the Italian Renaissance—a land of exquisite wines, world-class cuisine, and timeless romance (and you’re guaranteed at least two of those treats along the way).
Leaving Rome at once, we’ll dive into the rich history, culture and nature of magical Umbria. From the untamed Apennine wilderness, we’ll ride into the golden hills and cypress-lined roads of Tuscany, where the art of La Dolce Vita takes centre stage. Whether it’s a dip in a thermal bath, a lingering lunch overlooking the countryside, or a cooling scoop of gelato, Tuscany is where life’s simple pleasures become unforgettable. The adventure continues as we venture again south, discovering hidden corners of central Italy before our triumphant return to the Eternal City. A final impressive ride through Rome will lead us to a well-earned celebration and toast to an extraordinary journey.
If you’re looking for an experience without compromises, this is it. Expect superb food and wine, handpicked boutique stays, refreshing pools, impeccable hospitality and much more — all woven into a journey where every turn reveals another reason to fall in love with Italy.

DAY 2 (19/06) 220 km: ‘TERNI TO MONTEPULCIANO’
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll set off north west winding through the curvy roads of the Umbrian Apennines. Via charming valleys, hills and medieval villages we’ll reach the striking town of Orvieto, where history, nature and beauty meet in a suggestive way. A lazy lunch in the medieval town, before waving through more rolling hills, passing by Monteleone d’Orvieto and Città delle Pieve, home to the smallest alley of the Italy called Vicolo Baciadonne (Womankissing alley). Crossing into Tuscany via the dreamy landscapes of Valdichiana, we’ll cruise past Chianciano Terme, where Fellini filmed his masterpiece 81/2, before reaching Montepulciano. Here an unforgettable wine tasting experience awaits us. As the sun sets, we’ll toast to the day with exceptional dinner and wines atop this spectacular hilltop town, before settling into our charming historic residence for the night.
DAY 3 (20/06) 190 km: ‘THE GOLD OF TUSCANY’
Starting the day with an authentic Italian cappuccino and croissant while soaking up the idyllic Tuscan countryside, we’ll then glide along the remarkable cypress lined roads this timeless region is so famous for. We’ll traverse the famous Val D’Orcia, home to the celebrated Nobile di Montepulciano and Rosso di Montalcino vineyards, before continuing onto the ‘lunar’ landscape of the Crete Senesi, one of the most suggestive areas of Tuscany, called lunar because of its impressively picturesque bare hills. After lunch and a leisurely stroll in legendary Siena - a celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Site - we’ll ride some more perfect curves before soothing our bodies in the wild and sensational open-air thermal baths of Petriolo. Relaxed and rejuvenated, we’ll ride on to Montalcino, where an authentic Tuscan dinner and a restful night await us at our charming countryside hotel.
DAY 4 (21/06) 233 km: ‘MONTALCINO TO THE ETERNAL CITY’
Ready to embrace our final glorious day in the saddle, we’ll venture further into the breath-taking and mostly unspoilt landscapes of Southern Tuscany’s Maremma, a region still relatively unknown to mass tourism and yet very rich in history and heritage. We’ll ride through forests to the top of Mount Amiata at 1600m, then continue south via incredible towns and roads built into the sheer tuff rock by the Etruscans and Romans. Once in the Lazio region, we’ll stop for a ‘marina vibe’ lunch on Lake Bolsena, before winding down the day onto the gentle roads of the natural reserves of Lago di Vico and Bracciano Martigliano. Finally, we’ll crown our trip with a spectacular sunset ride through Rome where a well-deserved dinner party awaits us.
