Overview

Blending exquisite cycling, renowned Italian cuisine, and exceptional wines, our Piedmont itinerary traverses rolling hills, picture-perfect vineyards, and historic towns of this UNESCO-listed region. Beginning and ending in Asti, known for its sparkling wines and medieval towers, the route winds through the sandy hills of Roero, home to excellent white wines, and on to Alba, celebrated for truffles, hazelnuts, and refined cuisine. Ride past the Racconigi Royal Residence and continue to Saluzzo, gateway to the Alps and fine Alpine cheeses, before reaching Cuneo, where mountain scenery frames its Ligurian and French-influenced cuisine . The route then climbs gently into the Langhe, through iconic Barolo and Barbaresco vineyards, looping through hilltop villages on the return to Asti. The rolling terrain on this exquisite itinerary can be equally enjoyed on our comfortable e-bikes or premium titanium-frame touring bikes. More challenging optional rides are also included some days.
