E-Bike, Focaccia and Wine
Description
Along country roads, among trulli, farmhouses and dry stone walls, I will show you the places I love and experience every day by pedaling together for 20 km (about 12 miles). We start from Alberobello, the capital of the trulli, towards Locorotondo, the most evocative village in the Valle d'Itria: where a tasty stop at a traditional local bakery awaits us. We will taste the typical Apulian focaccia freshly baked by Giovanni, accompanied by a glass of wine. Afterwards, before returning to Alberobello, we will stop at the pastry shop of Signora Maria to taste the almond sweets of our tradition. On the way back we will consume seasonal fruits, picking them directly from the trees (cherries, figs, fioroni, pears, blackberries, mulberries). It won't be a tourist experience, not a classic e-bike tour but a little adventure: local life, away from crowded places. *Minimum height required for participants 163 cm (5'4 ft)

Itinerary
Along countryside lanes , among Trulli, Masserie and dry-stone walls, I will show you the places I love and live in my everyday life. We will cycle together for 20 km (about 12 miles). We'll leave from Alberobello, capital of Trulli, heading to Locorotondo, one of the most stunning towns in Valle d'Itria. Here, we'll get to know the locals and stop by a traditional deli where we will have the chance to taste the typical Apulian focaccia, just baked by Giovanni, filled with your favorite charcuterie and vegetables and washed down by a glass of good wine or a drink of your choice. Then, before returning to Alberobello, we'll stop at Maria's bakery to eat some local almond cookies and along the way, we'll taste seasonal fruits, hand-picking right from the trees (cherries, fichi, fioroni, pears, blackberries and mulberries, depending on the season). Our tour ends with an amazing tasting of Apulian rosolii. (a typical homemade liqueur)

Highly Recommend this tour!! Our guides were great and showed us some beautiful parts of the area.
Michele was an excellent guide! And the stop at Stefano’s house for wine and Foccacia was amazing! It really gave us the feeling of living in the Italian culture of Puglia! The bikes were excellent and the scenery magnificent! Would definitely recommend this trip.
Niccolo was a great tour guide who had planned out a fantastic bike ride through the Alberobello region. Loved the information and the few “pit-stops” along the way with one of the highlights visiting a local Italian couple on their farm for food & drinks.
We had the best time biking through local farms and Olive Groves. We stopped by an ancestral, Trulli home of Stefano.
The guides were very nice and took us through the surroundings of Alberobello and Locorotondo with a very nice stopover with wine and food at Stefane !
Gigi and Stefano were amazing guides. A beautiful way to tour the countryside and the sites you would miss otherwise. The stop for lunch at a local farmhouse hosted by 92 years young Mr Stephano and touring his 300 yr old Trulli home was amazing along with a stop in Locorondo for some quick shopping. Definitely worth the ride and time.
What a great tour. Definitely a must do if you are visiting the Puglia area. Mike was a fantastic guide sharing history and making sure we were safe along our ride. Our highlight was meeting Stephano and seeing his trullo as well having a snack and homemade limoncello!
This was a really excellent. Our guide Mirko and Gigi were excellent. The ride is like 99% on very quiet roads and tracks. Don’t worry about traffic etc it’s really not an issue. The bikes were in superb condition. And the turbo assist made the inclines very easy. The food pit stop was excellent and meeting Stefano the youngest 95 year old we have ever met was a real privilege. The views in this trip are genuinely outselling. Take a camera! It’s a great way to explore the valley and see Trulli. You will not regret booking.
It was an excellent day. Our guide was very informative and he didn’t rush us , let us go at our own pace and stop when we wanted to The stop at Stephany’s Tulli was great -nice focaccia, wine, home made lemon cello and sweets.
Beautiful scenery to take in via bicycle. Great guides and amazing focaccia & wine tasting at Stefano’s farm!! Highly recommend!!
