Bike tour: weekend in the Oltrepò Pavese. Bike&Taste – one day with the Guide
The Oltrepò Pavese is famous not only for its excellent food and wine, but also for its landscapes, castles and abbeys, and it’s
is perfect to explore on two wheels!
Not far from Milan, it includes 78 municipalities in the province of Pavia, all of which are located south of the Po. A hilly area famous all over the world for being one of the most suitable areas in Italy for wine-growing. Based in Salice Terme, an ancient thermal centre in Roman times, you can easily explore the whole area.
The use of the E-bike is certainly the perfect solution to enjoy a relaxing ride. With this Tour we want to combine the beauty of this area to be discovered by cycling with the food and wine specialities to be tasted at the table!
