What to expect
You'll spend the day on the back of a Vespa navigating winding roads through northern Italy's most celebrated wine region. Expect a mix of slow village exploration and open-road riding as your guide steers you past working vineyards, crumbling fortifications, and stone hamlets unchanged for centuries. The route includes timed stops at elevated vantage points where you can absorb the patchwork of terraced slopes below. Wine bar visits offer a chance to taste local Nebbiolo in modest quantities; lunch and formal tastings aren't included, so plan accordingly. The pace is leisurely enough to chat and photograph, but you'll be riding for several hours across undulating terrain.
