Details

Situated in the heart of Italy’s Veneto region, Conegliano offers a compelling base for outdoor enthusiasts eager to combine cycling with cultural discovery. Italy Cycling Tour curates a distinctive riding experience here, inviting travelers to pedal through the countryside en route to the famed Ferrari Museum in Maranello and the historic Acetaia Storica in Castelvetro di Modena. This route unites the pulse of motorsport heritage, traditional Italian craftsmanship, and panoramic landscapes of rolling vineyards.

The journey bridges two iconic areas: the dynamic town of Maranello, birthplace of the Ferrari legacy, and the quieter, fragrant fields surrounding Modena, world-renowned for its balsamic vinegar. Cyclists glide along quiet back roads framed by neat rows of grapevines and aged olive trees, breathing in the crisp Italian air. A highlight is the visit to Opera02, a local restaurant perched overlooking the valley, where guests can indulge in authentic regional cuisine, elevating the ride with genuine culinary warmth.

This tour stands out by weaving together diverse elements: the sleek sophistication of Ferrari’s automotive history contrasts with the slow, deliberate art of vinegar production in the Acetaia Storica. Both destinations offer immersive educations in Italian tradition and innovation.

The trip appeals to riders who appreciate moderate distances paired with sensory experiences beyond typical tours.
