Morning light slants across vine rows as you clip into an electric bike on Verona’s cobblestone edge. The city’s hush gives way to country roads where the hills of Valpolicella rise with stone farmhouses and gnarled pergolas. The e-bike does the heavy lifting; you do the looking—over terraces of Corvina and Rondinella, past olive trees that scent the air when the wind leans in.

Conservation

Charge your devices and bike
Start with a full e-bike battery and a charged phone—range varies with assist level and hills, and the app navigation relies on power.
Carry ID for tastings
Bring valid ID; Italian law requires proof of age for alcohol service and many cantinas check before pouring Amarone.
Dress for mixed terrain
Wear sturdy cycling shoes and a light wind layer—roads alternate between smooth asphalt and short gravel sections that can be slick when wet.
Respect private property
Stick to marked roads and paths; vineyards are private and access can be restricted, so park considerately and don’t trample rows.
Charged smartphone with mounted holder
Needed for following the app route and contacting support if issues arise.
Light waterproof jacket
Protects against sudden showers and cool winds on exposed ridgelines.
