Cycling through the vineyards

How the route progresses and what you can see

The “Giro del Vino 50”, which starts in the village of Lavis and goes as far as Roverè della Luna, is divided into two loops: to the north there is the flatter, faster route, and to the south lies the more challenging one, containing some uphill stretches, but rewarding you with views from some beautiful vantage points.

The route uses existing cycle paths, low-traffic local roads and country paths through forests, vineyards and watercourses. It is technically undemanding and suitable for all bikes with tires of at least 32 mm, whether road, MTB, pedal or electric.

If we already had you at “cycling”, the wine and food aspect of the tour is going to make it irresistible!

A tour of wineries, restaurants and farms in the Piana Rotaliana

The Piana Rotaliana is home to many excellent products, such as Teroldego Rotaliano, the prince of Trentino wines, Nosiola, TrentoDoc, and the Asparago Bianco di Zambana.

You will find almost 50 wineries along the route, big and small, as well as restaurants and farms, where you can stretch your legs under the table after a good ride, tasting delicious local products prepared by local cooks and chefs.

Then there are villages, such as Lavis, where you can visit the Giardino dei Ciucioi, a unique hanging garden with a romantic and decadent charm. When you arrive at San Michele all’Adige, a must-see is the METS – San Michele Trentino Ethnographic Museum, one of the most important museums of popular culture and tradition in Italy and among the largest in the Alps, housed in an old Augustinian convent.

We recommend cycling the “Giro del Vino 50” in spring, when the vines are full of renewed life. Late summer is also a good option, when the thick vine leaves contain juicy, swollen grapes ready for harvest. Another special time is autumn, a time when the vines glow gold and red.
