Ride dirt tracks through the Bandite di Scarlino Mediterranean scrub, then stop at a former chestnut-drying house for a woodside barbecue of grilled sausage, cheese, bread and local wine. A 2.5-hour, driver-license-required quad tour that pairs easy off-road riding with Tuscan Maremma flavors.

Sunlight filters through maritime pines and the gravel crackles under twin tires as you push the throttle into the Bandite di Scarlino scrub. The track opens to low hills, salt-scented air drifting in from the nearby Tyrrhenian coast, and a cluster of chestnut-era buildings where the ride pauses for grilled sausage, cheese, bread and a glass of local wine.
