Bolgheri DOC Wine Tasting
Discover Bolgheri through its vineyards and wines with a guided e-bike experience designed to combine landscape and wine culture in a relaxed and authentic way.
Ride along scenic countryside roads and through the iconic vineyards of the Bolgheri DOC area before reaching a selected winery, where you will enjoy a guided cellar visit followed by a tasting of five local wines.
With comfortable e-bikes, this experience allows you to explore the countryside effortlessly while discovering the stories, people and traditions that make Bolgheri one of the most renowned wine territories in Italy.
The experience is available in two formats, both lasting approximately five hours.
Both experiences include a guided winery visit and tasting of selected Bolgheri wines.
The Experience
The experience starts with a short briefing and e-bike fitting at the meeting point before heading out for a relaxed panoramic ride through the Bolgheri countryside.
Following easy and scenic routes suitable for everyone, you will explore the area between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci while your local guide shares stories, curiosities and insights about the territory, its landscapes and its wine culture.
The ride then continues towards a selected local winery along the Bolgheri Wine Road, where you will enjoy a guided cellar visit followed by a tasting of five Bolgheri DOC wines.
After the tasting, the experience continues with a relaxed ride back through the countryside, returning to the starting point.
A simple and authentic way to experience Bolgheri through its most iconic element: its wines.

Frequently asked questions:
How many people will be in the group?Since we believe smaller groups mean better experiences, we usually travel in groups of two to ten people.
We are also offering private tours. The minimal number of people for an individual group tour is only 2 (tw0). For more info please contact us info@bolgherilocals.com
Who will be guiding us?
The tours are led by experienced and certified local cycling guides, who know the tour locations like the back of their hands. They will be there for you with their experience and skills any time you’ll need them. They’ll try to make every tour more exciting with the right stories.
What about food?
All of our daily tours are planned with stops, where we can find local culinary specialties.
What about wine or beer at lunch?
All our activities do not include alcoholic beverages at lunch. The only exception is the Luxury wine tour. In all the other activities, the wine or beer can be asked directly to the owner of the restaurant and paid separately. We suggest drinking moderately.
I’m not a PRO cyclist. Can I join?
Our cycling tours are suitable both for those who cycle regularly and those who take a cycling trip occasionally. We use electric bikes on our tours to turn even the most difficult trips into an enjoyable journey for those with less stamina or technical skills. Plus, we adjust every tour to your skills and abilities.
What should I bring on a tour?
Most importantly, you should wear comfortable sports clothes (sport shoes, two-three layers of clothes, if you have a wind jacket is recommended. If it is foldable it’s better.). Please bring a bottle of water and sun protection in the summer months.
We provide all the cycling gear (bikes, helmets, first-aid kit, …). Any additional gear or clothes can be stored in a van or in our office.
Can we bring kids with us?
Kids are also welcome, as long as they are 140 cm high and they can cycle independently and ride an e-bike for at least 20 kilometers. Please notify us about any children joining when you book an experience or a tour. That way we can adjust the difficulty of the tour to them.
What about the bad weather?
Unfortunately, the weather is not up to us! So, even good plans might be ruined due to bad weather. We’ll make sure the tours and experiences happen even in less ideal weather, but we need to put your safety first. In case your tour gets canceled due to bad weather, we’ll fully reimburse you.
What should I wear?

Guests ages 18 and up can attend. Parents may also bring children. If you bring a guest that’s under 18, it’s your responsibility to make sure the activities they participate in are age-appropriate.
