My favorite, the Chianti ATV Tour, puts you in control of an all-terrain vehicle for an exhilarating ride through vineyards and olive groves. Setting off from either Florence or Badesse, you’ll follow a local guide and finish with a memorable wine tasting. For something uniquely Italian, the Ape Calessino Tour from Siena lets you experience the countryside in a charming three-wheeled vintage vehicle – it’s like riding in a slice of Italian history.
