Gravel Bike & Vineyard Farm visit
We'll tour by bike the Rieti Valley trails, with its unique Roman villa, now part of the FAI (Italian Environment Fund) heritage. It was property of the Roman Consul and Senator Quinto Assio and te magnificent panorama from Labro’s Castle overlooking Umbria’s Lake. We'll be most of the time at Rieti Valley biking up and down the hidden trails towards it’s lakes, medieval towns, and very old and beautiful oak trees.
After one-hour vehicle ride we'll start from our base in Rieti where we'll get our new Gravel Bikes. Afterward, we’ll jump right to the action of our Rieti Valley trails to visit Piediluco Lake in Umbria. There are numerous hidden routes, from talented to advanced singletrack or "strade bianche" so according to the skill level of our group.
Next, we will head to Labro Castle and walk through this beautifully restored medieval village. It's gorgeous.
The church, the castle, the theatre, the turns, up down across, the lake well off to the side below.
Plenty of opportunities to take scenic photos of the super famous St Francis Way but with me we’ll reach those stops from the back door, using beautiful bike trails through the Lungo and Ripasottile Lake District and the ancient and stately Roman villa of the 1st century BD, that walkers can’t reach! Valley trails you wouldn't find and see without me as your guide.
Last, arrive at Cantina Le Macchie for a visit to their cellar, vineyards, and winery. And of course, with a glass of wine accompanied by a small tasting of cheese, cured meats from our territory, and their olive oil production. See it in action: https://youtu.be/WCNmFOEWjuk
