Get “off the beaten track” and discover Tuscany’s top ‘gravel roads’!
There is no doubt that Tuscany is the best that Italy has to offer in terms of history, art, culture, beauty, food and wine, but also it’s one of the best in terms of a motorcycle adventouring country!…and the best way to discover the real, authentic Tuscany is to experience it in the company of the locals and this is why our Team and our event is a winner, because it’s made up of motorcycle enthusiasts and professionals that come from the world of motorcycle travel and events, from Tuscany and beyond and who live in this beautiful region, for both passion and work.
