What to expect
You'll start in Cisternino, navigating its winding streets before heading into open countryside on gentle roads. The e-bike handles the hills—no pedalling required uphill. Your guide sets a comfortable tempo, stopping where they choose to point out the landscape. At the winery and mill, staff walk you through their processes: grape crushing, fermentation, olive pressing, oil storage. It's hands-on without being strenuous. If you add the tasting, you'll sample three wines alongside friselle and taralli (local snacks) in a working setting, not a formal sit-down. Bring sunscreen and water beyond what's provided.
Good to know
E-bike rental is pay-on-site; bring your own to avoid that cost. The winery and mill visit plus any tasting are also paid locally—not bundled upfront. You must be 18 to be served wine. Nearby public transport exists if needed. Infant seats and child bikes are available.
