A carefully planned journey through the land of Italian Renaissance everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. Beginning in the Chianti region, we will experience the fascinating hills and valleys of the Tuscan countryside, visiting iconic towns and some of the most unique vineyards and cellars of Italy. We will relish food and wine tastings, learning with both our taste buds and bellies all that this fabulous region has to offer.

A motorcycle journey into the island of unspoilt nature and millenary traditions. By September big crowds and unbearable heat have left, opening it all up for us and our motorcycles to enjoy outright. Starting from the city of Cagliari, where the waiters are a good laugh and the food is to die for, we will embark in a loop all around the Island, to experience the most beautiful and sometimes remote Sardinia. Everything is in the cards with this trip. From mountain roads immersed in fragrant Mediterranean vegetation, with granite rocks on one side and vast breathtaking views on the other, to coastal roads framed by white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, we will experience and touch it all by hand. Expect awesome riding, dreamy swimming, great hotels, simple towns, warm hospitality, comedy, and even ghost mining towns. This island is vast and by western standards largely untouched, and we will dive right into its heart. Needless to say this journey will be a feast of amazing local foods like the suckling pig (often cooked buried underground) and the Pecorino cheese (Sardinian Pecorino is an assurance!).

Riding truly iconic 70s classic bikes, we’ll experience some of the best routes, food, hospitality and good times Italy has to offer. This Bike Shed exclusive tour is packed with incredible heritage and marvellous destinations throughout: from the unbelievable San Marino to the sensational Tuscany, crossing the Apennine Mountains, riding hills and valleys through vineyards, drinking coffees in Medieval and Etruscan towns, all the while staying at unique boutique and farmhouse hotels, and eating and drinking all the amazing locally produced foods and wines. Bike Shed members are in for a real treat with this one.

If you ever wanted to experience the best Italy has to offer in one go, then this ‘east to west and back’ of amazing mountains, valleys, heritage, food and hospitality is for you. Beginning with a warm welcome at our clubhouse in the Republic of San Marino, we will leave the Adriatic coast and ride through the best peaks of the Small Alps to reach the famed Tuscany, land of incredible culture and superb culinary traditions. After visiting the iconic medieval city of Siena, we will continue through picturesque hills and valleys all the way to the Etruscan coast. Eating and drinking our way through some of the best food and wine Tuscany has to offer, we will then reach the eminent homeland of Italian language, Florence. For our final stretch, we will dive into a true motorcycle playground, crossing the amazing Passo del Muraglione and riding hairpins and empty twisty roads back through the Small Alps, and finally arrive back in San Marino for a chill at the SPA and then a very special dinner party at our RIDE 70s clubhouse.

We will inaugurate the riding season with one of the warmest and most original regions of Italy, the iconic Sicily. This island hardly needs an introduction, its people and heritage being the marvellous result of millennia of different civilizations who’ve been through it, and who have left artistic and cultural testimonies of enormous value. We will experience it all, from seaside towns seemingly emerging from the rocks, to beautifully curated farmhouses up in the mountains, while passing old ruins, national parks and of course Mount Etna too, the highest live volcano of Europe. The accommodations will be unique traditional Masseria and old historical buildings often sporting pools or SPAs, and our meals will be feasts of the most delicious locally produced food and wines.
