Rolling through the Vineyards of Barolo in the Italian Piedmont is a Necessary Road Biker and Wine Connouisseur's Pilgrimage.
The Piedmont region of Italy has some of the most diverse road biking terrain in Europe. From the nearby Italian Riviera to the Alps, and the wine-producing Langhe-Roero in between, the best way to explore it is on two wheels. Quiet country roads lead through vineyards and hill towns, and short climbs are followed by 10-minute descents, threading in and out of forests, farmland and world-class wineries. It’s no secret why Italy is a nation of bike fanatics.
Combining a cycling trip through Piedmont with numerous, one-of-a-kind “Slow Food” and wine-tailored diversions, special guided visits to local vineyards, the Italian Wine Bank, and the famous Fiere del Tartufo (white truffle festival) is what sets this trip apart. Rest in the town of Pollenzo outside Alba in the evenings, while riding through the famous regions of Barolo and Barbera by day. This special gastronomic-themed trip has been created in conjunction with the Slow Food-endorsed University of Gastronomic Sciences, specifically for Epic Europe. Art, food, wine and culture accentuate the continent’s best road biking, making for a truly legendary cycling adventure.
