Cycle from Forlì through river paths and hill roads to a biodynamic winery for a cellar tour and tasting. This six-hour ebike loop pairs mild climbs with food, history, and sweeping Apennine views.
You start in Forlì's main square with the city bell and market noises shrinking behind you as the group moves out onto a quiet cycle path along the Montone river. The ebike’s gentle push carries you past low stone bridges, through rows of olive and vine, and up a secondary road where the Calanchi ridges and the Cozzi valley open like pages from a geology book.

You start in Forlì's main square with the city bell and market noises shrinking behind you as the group moves out onto a quiet cycle path along the Montone river. The ebike’s gentle push carries you past low stone bridges, through rows of olive and vine, and up a secondary road where the Calanchi ridges and the Cozzi valley open like pages from a geology book.
This loop stitches together centuries: Forlì’s medieval cathedral and abbey, Castrocaro Terme’s fortified “City of Sun,” and hilltop farmsteads that grew from Roman-era rural plots. The soil here is a mix of clay and marl; those Calanchi gullies were carved by seasonal rains, giving the landscape abrupt folds that vines and lavender cling to.
Culture is tactile—piadine and aged crescenza at a winery table, biodynamic labels on bottles, and local guides who can explain family-run production and estate rhythms. The highlight is Marta Valpiani’s hilltop winery: a cellar tour, a short stroll among vineyards and lavender, then a guided tasting paired with local cheeses and cured meats.
Practically, expect about six hours total with rolling hills and some steeper short climbs handled by the ebike. Wear grippy shoes, bring a full water bottle, and time the ride for morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat during summer. Helmets are supplied; lights and a basic repair kit are wise. This is a low-impact way to cover rural terrain, taste biodynamic wines, and learn the human stories behind Romagna’s vineyards.

Forlì’s central square and cathedral date back to medieval times; Castrocaro Terme was developed as an “ideal fortified town” and retains strong Renaissance-era fortifications.
Marta Valpiani practices biodynamic viticulture to reduce chemical inputs; small-group ebike tours help limit traffic and wear on rural roads.
