E-bike rental and wine tasting in the Oltrepò Pavese area

An entire valley dedicated to viticulture, with vineyards interspersed with small villages with stone houses. It sounds like fantasy but it is the magical reality of theOltrepò Pavese, which you can discover with this fantastic one-day experience.

Come to the province of Pavia and explore the world of wine production by visiting a vineyard and a wine cellar, then be enraptured by the flavour of the local wines during a tasting accompanied by tasty appetisers.

Finally, rent an e-bike and set off on a tour of the surrounding valleys and villages. When you think you have arrived at the perfect location, open your picnic basket and have lunch surrounded by nature.

What we will do

We will meet at 10 a.m. at the meeting point in Santa Maria della Versa (PV), where our wine expert guide will be waiting for us. Our first hour together will be divided into two parts, both of approximately 30 minutes: one will be dedicated to visiting the vineyard and the other to visiting the winery. The guide will give us an overview of the surrounding area and explain how the grapes are grown and the wine is made.

At that point, we will sit down and have a tasting of four typical Oltrepò Pavese wines(Metodo Classico, Bonarda, Riesling and Sangue di Giuda) accompanied by cold meats, cheeses, vegetable flan and tart.

At the end of the tasting, which lasts about an hour, it will be time to take our e-bikes, jump into the saddle and venture along one of the many routes that will be recommended by our guide. The area is full of wonderful views of meadows and vineyards and small villages to visit. There is no shortage of stone houses, historic towers and fascinating bell towers that will keep us entertained until lunchtime.

At that point we decide on a suitable place for our picnic, open the basket of delicacies (included) delivered with the e-bike and eat surrounded by nature. Inside we will find two sandwiches with meat, vegetables and cheese, fruit tart, water, a bottle of wine and eco-compostable crockery.

At the end of the day-long experience, we will return to the starting point and return the e-bike by 5pm.
