Internationale groepsreis Cycling the Prosecco Hills

Cycle through the picturesque vine-covered hills of Italy's UNESCO Prosecco region

Highlight

  • The trip includes all breakfasts, 2 pic-nic lunches, 1 dinner and 1 wine tasting. The local food of the Prosecco has strong links to ancient traditions and uses mainly seasonal products grown in the area. It is typical country cooking, with plenty of delicious, genuine flavours, and makes great use of garden vegetables, herbs, wild berries, wild mushrooms, asparagus, game and cheeses. For breakfast, the hotels usually offer a large selection of cereals, fruit, homemade cakes, cheese and cold meats, along with tea and coffee of course. The two packed lunches usually consist of sandwiches with a fruit and snack. When meals are not included, the leader will recommend some local cafes or traditional restaurants serving some authentic dishes from the area such as 'spiedo' (spit roasted meat), wild mushroom risotto, gnocchi, mouth-watering cured meats and cheeses, all washed down with prime quality Prosecco!

Route 8 daagse Fietsvakantie Cycling the Prosecco Hills

Treviso, located just a short drive north of Venice in the foothills of the Dolomites, is thought to be the most cycled province in Italy [1] thanks to the great variety of scenic roads and picturesque rolling hills. Many professional cyclists train on these routes and there are countless events, including the famous Giro d’Italia, taking place here each year. Added to this, this hilly land also happens to be the home of Italy’s most prized sparkling wine: Prosecco! For this exciting trip we have designed and hand-picked five circular and point-to-point routes to showcase the very best this wine-growing region has to offer. You will be pedalling on back country roads and through breathtaking vine-covered hills, extending as far as the eye can see, and passing through several fascinating historic towns along the way, including elegant Treviso, Bassano and mediaeval Asolo. At the end of each day your efforts will be rewarded by tasting the best of local gastronomy, obviously along with a crisp glass of delicious Prosecco! [1] taxonomy/term/310
