Barbaresco is a place known by lovers of good wine. Some associate the name Barbaresco only with the wine and not with the town of Barbaresco. Barbaresco offers you a privileged view of the Tanaro Valley. One of the stops on the Bike Tour will be the Barbaresco Tower, which is panoramic indeed. While in the village, look at the Church of St. John the Baptist, where medieval frescoes tell ancient stories starting in 1730 when it was opened for worship.
One of the highlights of your Tour will be the Barbaresco tasting if the formula you choose includes it. Savor, one of Italy’s great reds, appreciates its color and aroma. The surroundings of Barbaresco, with the vineyards that frame it, will immerse you in total beauty.
The E-bike Tour will take you out of Barbaresco to discover trails among vineyards that change color with the changing seasons. Pedal and breathe the Slow world. Small villages, quiet hamlets, sunny vineyards. All are designed to let you discover this area, pedaling and tasting.
Barbaresco, you will see, is much more than just a town; it is a thrill you will take home, perhaps with a few bottles of great wine. This e-bike tour, designed to allow you to see Barbaresco and its surroundings, will bring you closer to great red wine and the traditions of a farming town.
This stage, you will see, is worth the ride! The Tower stands over Barbaresco and its surroundings, like a lookout that sees far into the valley. The Tower has a very ancient history; we are talking about the year 1000. A height of 33 meters, and an elevator that will take you to its summit. A 360-degree view and a sense of calm and immense. One of our Formulas includes an entrance to the Tower and a glass to toast such beauty.
This E-bike Tour to discover What to See in Barbaresco and its surroundings is an experience of discovery and an opportunity to enjoy the itinerary slowly. The planned stops for Formulas A, B, and C will complete a beautiful day.
So, what are you waiting for? Ride with us to discover what to see in Barbaresco and experience a Slow Day you will remember for a long time!

She worked with us to ensure we visited key producers in Barolo, Barbaresco and Dogliani; accommodated last minute requests (which by the way, allowed us to meet Chiara Boschis in person!!), selected hotels of the level we expected, and works with an outstanding team providing all transfers (led by Nadia, who is not only a very pleasing person but also extremely knowledgeable about the area).This trip had been planned for March of 2020, we had to cancel it due to COVID. But the 2-yr wait paid off thanks to the extraordinary work Claudia and her team did. You will not be disappointed, she knows every nook and cranny in La Langhe, and is equally good at selecting the highest end restaurants and visits as she is in picking small restaurants and locally managed activities that are "must-do's"Superb experience! read less

Everything worked so smoothly, from the bike pickup to the tasting and the great stops along the way. The e-bike made the uphill climbs so easy - and gravity made the downhill parts lots of fun! I loved the tastings and the friendliness of everyone I met along the way. It was perfect! read less

My partner is a Sommelier so has very high expectations when it comes to wine, but Claudia was able to accommodate all of our needs and make her own excellent suggestions of places to try, all within a great price as well. Unfortunately we were unable to experience the fantastic tour Claudia had planned for us due to coronavirus, but Claudia continued her excellent service offering us a refund on all our deposits paid. We are looking forward to re-booking our wine tour with Claudia when things settle down and couldn’t recommend her enough, thank you Claudia for your excellent service throughout the entire planning process! read less

“Esperienza bellissima! Abbiamo scoperto la bicicletta elettrica, il percorso preparato per noi é¨ stato utilissimo e facile da seguire; la visita in cantina molto interessante e la degustazione eccezionale! Per coronare il tutto, un bel pomeriggio rilassante in Spa, con trattamenti particolari che non avevamo mai provato.
Claudia é stata super efficiente e disponibilissima, ha trovato le opzioni che facevano più al caso nostro e ha anche risolto i piccoli contrattempi che possono sempre capitare…così ci siamo potuti godere un’ottima giornata felici e spensierati!”
