With the Alps at your back and a glass of Moscato d’Asti waiting for you at the end of the day… la vita è bella in the Piedmont region! Over the course of two weeks, discover the architectural richness of the towns along the way, the majesty of the mountains overlooking Turin, and enough culinary specialties to ensure you never eat the same thing twice—though you’ll surely want to go back for seconds on dishes featuring the region’s signature white truffles.
On your bike, you’ll enjoy the narrow country roads lined with fields and centuries-old—or even millennia-old—houses! In the land of Barolo and Barbaresco, life is good, and the route will allow you to take in the rich landscapes of Italy’s agricultural heartland at a leisurely pace!
With the Self-guided option, enjoy your trip at your own pace and on your own terms. We’ll provide you with the itinerary and book your accommodations—the rest is up to you!
