Gravel riding paired with local experiences and fresh cuisine paired with local wines – that’s what this tour is all about! From the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic Coast, we cycle on 'strade bianche'' – chalk white gravel roads – through the lesser-known corners of the Marche region in Central Italy. Our days are filled with scenic rides, experiential excursions and gastronomic delights, and we unwind each night in cozy hotels and charming agriturismi (farm stays).
Meeting in Fabriano, we begin with a paper-making workshop to discover why this town is known as Italy’s “City of Paper.” Crossing the rugged Apennines, we head towards Montecarotto, where we swap our cycling gear for an apiary outfit to become beekeepers for an afternoon. We then ride through an endless sea of vineyards and olive groves, meeting passionate locals and learning about the production of olive oil and natural wines from seed to shelf. The final chapter takes us through Marche’s ‘Land of Castles', where fortified medieval villages crown the hilltops, before arriving at the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea. The tour ends in the historic coastal town of Sirolo

I had an amazing time on this 9-day Italy trip! The itinerary was very well organized, covering so many highlights — from Rome’s Colosseum to Pompeii, Herculaneum, Positano, Sorrento, and Capri. It’s definitely an active trip with lots of walking, but such a great way to see and experience so much in a short time. The hotels were functional and well located, with the last one in Sorrento being especially beautiful with its sea views.
The absolute highlight, though, was our tour guide, Alessia. She went above and beyond every single day — knowledgeable, organized, enthusiastic, and always available if anyone needed something. You could tell she truly cared about making sure everyone had the best experience. The group itself was great, and thanks to Alessia, everything felt seamless and fun.
Highly recommend this trip if you want to see the highlights of Italy with a fantastic guide leading the way!
