Explore enchanting, off-the-beaten-path routes in the Veneto region on this captivating tour.

Two highlights at the heart of this journey (and that give this tour its name) are Grappa and Prosecco. While widely recognized as renowned beverages, few are aware that these names also belong to distinct places. By embarking on our Grappa and Prosecco bike tour, you'll uncover these hidden treasures and much more.

History comes alive for us every day, starting with our warmup ride in the town of Cittadella, where the exquisitely preserved village center and fortified walls transport us seamlessly back to the Middle Ages. From there, the battles and the implications of WWI are palpable in Bassano del Grappa, Asolo and crossing the Piave River. Hemingway, during his days as an ambulance driver during the war, spent many days in Bassano. His time there served as an inspiration for his novel, “A Farewell to Arms.”

As we enter the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Superiore Prosecco winemaking area, we learn about the ancient origins of wine making, and how the reputation and qualities of the wine have evolved throughout the centuries. Then, there is the mighty influence of the Republic of Venice (697–1797). While the towns we visit might very well predate Roman times, the Venetians are the ones who left their mark, from architecture to cuisine to local traditions.

The riding is just as varied and dramatic as the history, from the challenging climb up the imposing Monte Grappa, to the hilly terrain of Prosecco with constant ups and downs that provide never-ending photo ops. A Tourissimo tour would not be complete without ample exploration of the traditional food, and the cuisine of Veneto is the perfect complement to crisp Prosecco and interesting reds.
