Bevagna Bike and Wine Tour

Buongiorno! Start your day with a ride down to the walled Roman town of Bevagna, bike along the cobbled streets that trace the ancient amphitheater.

Enjoy a cappuccino at the bar, dipping yourself into the life “Italian Style”. After a visit to the sleepy, picturesque medieval town, head out to the Valle Umbra and the sweeping countryside roads and lush green fields.

Stop at our friend’s organic winery and enjoy by a wine tasting along and a delicious home-made lunch. From here, it’s a quick ride back to your home where you’ll have time to relax and enjoy the sunset views before our homemade dinner.

Gold of Spello Bike Tour

Our day begins with a ride across the beautiful Umbria Valley, through the peaceful backroads all the way to the hilltop town of Spello. Wander around, soaking up the peaceful, almost spiritual atmosphere, and appreciate the beauty of the village. Or, opt for a slightly more challenging climb to Collepino.

It’s a bit of a climb but totally worth the effort for the incredible panoramic views, and the last one to the top buys the espressos…

Taste the world-famous extra virgin olive oil, the so-called ‘Gold of Spello’. Known for its unique flavours all over the world, this is the centre of the olive oil universe, and you’ll never get olive oil so good anywhere else.

After lunch, ride through the ancient, silver and green olive groves on the stunning Olive Path. Then, it’s happy-hour before another homemade dinner. Relax before our evening meal.

Wake up with an Italian espresso for a quick shot of energy, as today’s adventure will take you north, to the border with Tuscany: Lake Trasimeno.

You’ll follow the cycle path that hugs the edge of this crystal blue lake, visiting different fishing villages, small beaches, and scenic spots of incredible natural beauty.

Lake Trasimeno is an absolute must-see when visiting Umbria and Tuscany, and you can be sure you’ll have enjoyed it to its fullest, seen the best viewpoints, and sampled the lifestyle of those who live on its edge.

It’s the longest ride of the week, but it’s mostly flat with some short hills and plenty of stops for picture opportunities.

Watch the sunset dip into the water, the orange-pink light bleeding into the calm lake turning it a shimmering mirror of the sky with a drink in hand, before your guide will drive you back for a group dinner.

Today, you’ll give your legs some rest as you’re ferried around in a comfortable minivan, as you engage your senses on a wine tasting tour through the beautiful vineyards and olive groves of the region.

Learn about the art of making wine, and immerse yourself in the vineyards of Sagrantino’s Land: the master of the wine.

Try some fruity white Grechetto and some sparling Umbrian Prosecco whilst enjoying a platter of organic meats and local pecorino cheeses. Italian food and wine is all about patience and love, and you can see just how much of these concepts are poured into the production of the treats.

Known for the production of Sagrantino Montefalco DOCG wine and Grechetto Bianco, winemakers and professional sommeliers will lead you through a sensorial experience.
