Road bike the Prosecco route – shortbreak
On the road bike in the growing area of the renowned pearl wine
Cycling in the Prosecco region is absolutely the best way to know this region framed in the north by the Alps and in the south by the river Piave, where green hills are covered by lush overgrown vineyards. What is waiting for you is a land full of charme, history and art, enriched by unexpected surprises bearing witness to its ancient past: fairy castles, aristocratic villas but also typical cellars where local people are keeping alive the pleasure of hospitality… you will absolutely need to taste their delicious local products!
In this area the winemaking tradition has ancient roots; the first written evidence of Prosecco dates back to 1772 and nowadays, even though sparkling wines are widespread throughout the whole country, only the product born from these particular graves, with its floral and fruity scent, can bring in the world the name of „Prosecco“.
An cycling tour on road bikes suitable to everybody, following good cycle paths and secondary roads far from heavy traffic. All overnights are in the same hotel.
