Treat yourself to a holiday of authentic flavors and unforgettable emotions. Italian wine is the undisputed star of the world wine scene. Italy has been celebrated for centuries for its diversity of styles, terroirs and grape varieties. With several hundred appellations and over 700 grape varieties, wine is made from north to south: from light, refreshing whites to complex, robust reds, from sparkling to sweet.
Italy is divided into 20 different regions, each with unique terroirs and climates. Valpolicella in Veneto, in the northeast. Barolo in Piedmont, in the northwest. Lambrusco in Emilia-Romagna. Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany. Not forgetting Puglia, Sicily and Sardinia.
Whether you’re an enthusiast or just a hobbyist, explore the vineyards by bike and multiply the pleasures. Cycling is the ideal way to explore Italy’s vineyards, combining the discovery of unique landscapes with visits to wineries, winemakers’ residences, picturesque villages and towns steeped in history, all enriched by gastronomic stops where a glass of good wine is always accompanied by charcuterie, cheeses and other typical local products.
