CYCLING IN WINE COUNTRY

Cycling's most unforgettable adventures are tucked away in the world's premier wine regions, where travelers can pedal miles of unspoiled country road and stunning landscapes by day, and savor regional cuisine and top local wines as the sun fades. Nowhere is this perfect pairing of energy and relaxation more evident than in Italy, where stretches of open road combine with this Mediterranean country's vibrant culture and signature attractions to guarantee the trip of a lifetime.

Discover Italy in a most memorable way with a Backroads 6-day biking vacation for two. Explore the historic hilltop towns, rolling vineyards and rambling olive tree groves of “bella Italia” by bike. At every stop, enjoy sensational regional wines and cuisine and slumber in elegant inns to recharge for the next day’s adventure.

Vibrant. Captivating. Sicilian.
Nero d'Avola, a variety native to the Mediterranean island of Sicily , is often called “the king of Sicilian red wines.” With its smooth, supple texture and flavors of black cherry and licorice, Nero d’Avola is a splendid match with rich pasta dishes, grilled meats and hard, spicy cheeses.
