Cycle the Most Beautiful Vineyards in Italy

Italiaoutdoors Food and Wine invites you to join us on a unique bike and wine holiday in the beautiful regions of Northeast Italy - Trentino-Alto Adige and the Veneto. We will begin our cycling tour exploring the Sudtirol Weinstrasse (Wine Road). Picturesque cycling paths wind their way along this road, the perfect way explore the most beautiful vineyards in Europe. Daily wine tastings will guide us through the many varietals produced in this region, many of which are rarely found outside this region. Our constant companions during our first days of travel - the magnificent Dolomites, which will surround us on all sides as we cycle along the Adige river valley.

To quote wine experts Joseph Bastianich and David Lynch, in their Vino Italiano The Regional Wines of Italy guide, “For those who love both the outdoors and wines, Trentino-Alto Adige is hard to beat.”

 We make our way south, along the Sudtirol Wine Road, stopping in the town of Tramin, home to Gewurztraminer. Our cycling brings us through the Mezzacorona, Mezzolombardo and Teroldego Rotaliano wine areas. We spend the night in the historic city of Trento, visiting the Castello di Buonconsiglio and tasting the amazing sparkling wines from the TRENTO DOC.

Then we enter the Veneto on our final day of cycling as we ride down a lovely bike path. Our final destination is a wines estate in the Valpolicella wine region. On our last evening of the tour we'll enjoy a private tasting of the world famous Amarone, follwed by our farewell dinner at one of the region's best restaurants.
