Following arrival at Venice airport, we’ll transfer (approx. 30 mins) as a group to the charming town of Treviso. With its meandering waterways and tranquil atmosphere, it’s an ideal starting point for our trip.

Arrival time permitting, there should be time to explore the town before enjoying an evening meal in one of the great local restaurants. With a glass of bubbles in hand, we’ll provide you with all the information you’ll need for the duration of your trip.

A gentle start to our journey, leaving Treviso behind us, we’ll ride past fertile cultivated countryside towards the Montello hills that sit below the Piave River. This area was home to the deadly battles in 1918 during the Austria-Hungarian war, and a Majestic Military Memorial erected below the hill commemorates the event.

If time allows, we’ll take a quick detour to the ruins of Sant’Eustachio Abbey before we embark on a great route in the foothills of the Montello. This is a classic ride for locals, and we may find ourselves enjoying this tree-lined water course, with fellow Italian cyclists. On route to Asolo, we’ll admire the imposing Palladian Villa of Maser. Now part of UNESCO World Heritage, it’s one of the most admired works by Venetian architect Palladio.

Following a quick refuel, we’ll be ready for the only real climb of the day, the ride up to Asolo. Designated as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy due to its position on the top of the hill, Asolo has always attracted artists and writers from all over the world, including Robert Browning. Enjoying a drink in the main piazza and a walk around the town, the last section of our ride is a sweeping descent to our hotel.

The route today will take us out towards the Piave River, cycling through the rolling hills of Ezzelini and the Colli Asolani. Once we’ve crossed the Piave River we’ll find ourselves surrounded by lush vineyards, and it’ll be clear we’ve entered the heart of the Prosecco region.

The route to Follina and ValmarIno will follow the higher road from Valdobbiadene, with Prosecco vineyards extending on the steep hills below us. On arrival at our accommodation, our host will welcome us with a glass of one of the best Prosecco wines, on the house, from the vineyards we have just cycled through. Nothing like a refreshing local wine that’s been produced within 20 kms of your accommodation!

• Meals: Breakfast
• Ascent: 250 or 500 Metres Approx.

Today’s ride is classic Prosecco, taking in the best riding and best scenery the region has to offer. Leaving our accommodation, the riding starts along the fertile lower valley separated by the high Monti dei Visentini and the lush rolling hills of Prosecco.

Heading south, we’ll start climbing, with woods giving way to vineyard after vineyard of rolling hills. Meandering up and down through valleys, there will be plenty of places to stop and take photos. Stopping at the Molinetto della Croda is a must, with a water mill set below a picturesque waterfall.

Looping west through Compea, you’ll find 117 hectares of vineyards, with over 100 wine producers – Including Conegliano Valdobbiadene producing Prosecco Superiore DOCG, and the exclusive DOCG Cartizze sparkling wine.

Following lunch, we’ll continue our ride towards Follina, where a visit to the Abbey with its stunning cloister is a must, before returning to our accommodation.

For those still raring to go, we can head out again in the afternoon for a 15 Mile / 25 Km ride exploring the Lakes of Ravine. A leisurely ride following cycle routes and paths along the valley to the small lakes near Ravine, Lago di St Maria and Lago di Lago.

A cycle path loops around the lakes, making it a great option for those looking for a leisurely swim or a sunbathe before looping back to the accommodation riding through some traditional villages.

Time to say goodbye to this amazing area and ride back to Treviso. As we ride south, we’ll take a route that leads us past medieval castles – the castle of Collalto di Susegana whose tower and bastions remain after first world war bombardments and the Castello di San Salvatore’s imposing walls and towers tell a tale of great imposing dominance in the region (privately owned).

As we head back to Nervesa della Battaglia, the route heads south through the countryside back to Treviso, where we can enjoy an evening meal together.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch
• Ascent: 100 Metres Approx.

Today we make our way to the bustling seaside resort of Jesolo. We set off from Treviso and follow the Greenway, a cycle route that follows the course of the river Sile to the Caigo tower in the municipality of Jesolo. This lovely route meanders the course of the Sile, along a river-side trail through lush green woods, past small inlets thriving with river bird life, watermills, castles and small villages where we’ll stop to explore and enjoy a coffee break.

After crossing the lock at Portegrandi, the cycle path enters the lagoon eaves, which runs for 11 km until the Sile flows into the old Piave at Caposile. Never far from the Lagoon the route reaches Jesolo and our final stretch along a canal lined with traditional fishing huts, leads us down to the busy coastal resort area – in time for celebratory drinks!

We’ll then jump in the support van for a quick whisk back to Treviso for our final night together.

• Meals: Breakfast

Time to say arrivederci after a final Italian breakfast and start your journey home.
