Savour the Veronese wines, meet the producers and discover the terroirs, by bike

An intense trip that allows to appreciate the wines with all your senses, directly by the producer by smelling and tasting the wine and feeling the terroir directly on your skin cycling among the vineyards. Three easy itineraries, away from the car traffic as much as possible to discover two great wines: Valpolicella (with its older version of Amarone della Valpolicella) and Bardolino, in the beautiful landscapes of Valpolicella and Lake Garda. The last itinerary will take you to the romantic Verona, to enjoy a stroll in the city center and a nice cooking class.

Verona (UNESCO Heritage Site)

The vineyards and the wines of Valpolicella

Bardolino and Lake Garda landscape

Bike or e-bike rental?
Valpolicella and the eastern hinterland of Lake Garda are hilly areas. Thanks to their conformation, there are many vantage points and wide views. Consequently, the tour has some ups and downs. Touring bikes have all the necessary gears, the guide will keep a pleasant pace for all participants in the group, but with the e-bike everything will be very easy.
