What to expect
You'll spend the morning pedalling gently through countryside and past centuries-old settlements, stopping to absorb the lay of the land. At Salviano Castle, staff guide you below ground into vaulted cellars where you taste several wines in their natural setting, matched with local charcuterie and cheese. The afternoon takes you to an active oil mill where you learn how small-batch pressing differs from industrial methods, then taste a range of oils—single-variety and blended—spread on warm bruschetta. The pace is unhurried; expect to spend time understanding how soil, climate and technique affect flavour.
