Trip Itinerary
More information regarding the time and meeting point for the first/last day will be provided after the booking.
Arrival in Francavilla al Mare, where you will stay for the entire weekend. The sunset tour will take us to Tollo, the town of wine and the Abruzzese pergola. The streets and countryside are bustling with activity, reflecting the commitment of men and women in the grape harvest, with loaded tractors gathering at the gates of the wineries. During the grape harvest season, from September to October, this small Teatino village, with 84% of its territory dedicated to vineyards, reaches its peak of splendor. Thanks to the rediscovery of Abruzzese wines and indigenous grape varieties, Tollo is now known as the City of Wine, featuring its main labels: Montepulciano, Trebbiano, and Cerasuolo. Biking through these gentle hills, one can admire the wineries along the route, until reaching the one chosen for the tasting, where you can savor Tollo's typical productions. Free dinner and overnight stay.

Travel Tour Overview

These excursions will be immersed in greenery on mountain bikes, allowing us to ride through the vineyards to reach the hidden corners of Abruzzo Divino. Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Cococciola, Passerina, and Pecorino are the native and main grape varieties produced in this area, along with recent innovations such as Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Malvasia.
