You leave Lecce’s carved-stone piazzas behind and slip onto a ribbon of farmers’ lanes where olive trunks lean low and the wind nudges you forward. The town’s baroque detail fades into long views of dry-stone walls and white masserias; the e-bike keeps a steady pulse beneath you as the countryside opens.

You leave Lecce’s carved-stone piazzas behind and slip onto a ribbon of farmers’ lanes where olive trunks lean low and the wind nudges you forward. The town’s baroque detail fades into long views of dry-stone walls and white masserias; the e-bike keeps a steady pulse beneath you as the countryside opens.
This short loop follows two different 18 km routes—out and back—past centuries-old olive groves grown on limestone bedrock that shapes Puglia’s stark, sunbaked landscape. Lecce’s modern craft-beer boom is a recent cultural turn: small producers like Birra Salento combine local barley and water with techniques rooted in Europe’s brewing tradition. The one-hour brewery visit covers production steps and ends with a tasting of three beers paired with Puglian snacks—an easy, sensory primer on the region’s food culture.
Practically: expect about 36 km total, mostly flat with occasional short pitches on compacted country roads; total time is roughly four hours including the tasting and visit. Helmets, rear pannier and phone holder are provided. The ride is suitable for riders comfortable on two wheels; e-bike assistance reduces effort but you’ll still pedal.
Plan to bring sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, and sensible shoes for short gravel stretches. Morning departures keep heat low and light sharp for photos. Respect private land; many lanes cross working farms. This half‑day tour is compact, social and rooted in the local landscape—part cycling outing, part brewery introduction, all practical and scenic.
