Cycling from alpine splendor to undiscovered villages and fortified castles, this Luxury Piedmont Cycling Tour combines the best of Italian and French cuisine and wine with scenic pedaling through rolling hills dotted with vineyards and castles.

Welcome to our Luxury Piedmont Cycling Tour!

You will stay in Luxury hotels, and eat the kind of luxuriously rustic food that has earned this region more Michelin stars than any other in the country.

Reviews

Our six day tour in the Piedmont was 5-star spectacular, 10/10. The routes were challenging, beautiful and carefully curated to climb on quiet roads and descend on high-quality pavement. The equipment was first rate (Ultegra race bikes) and well maintained.
The hotels and meals capture the atmosphere and gastronomy of the region. I especially enjoyed spending multiple days in a single hotel with loop rides. This allows you to get on the bike earlier and relax into your afternoon without checkin/checkout/moving. The multiple rides from the same place were very different and not at all repetitive.
Great design.
Bike Tour Sardinia provides exceptional service before, during and after the ride. For us, this was. a mechanical (our fault) that was addressed within the hour. It was also adjusting the tour when we got a last minute invite to visit a friend’s winery for an evening.
