3 E-Bike Food Rides Worth Flying For

1.Alberobello: e-bike tour and orecchiette class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 4 hours · from $55Our pick

Rocco leads a small-group e-bike ride from Alberobello through trulli country, dry stone walls, vineyards, and olive groves. At a family-run mill, Pasquale explains how wheat becomes flour. Then Pasqua teaches you to shape orecchiette, which you cook and eat with wine. Bring your own e-bike or rent one locally.

“Alberobello was a delight and we loved cycling through the glorious Puglian countryside, then meeting a very lovely flour mill owner who took great care to explain the workings of the mill. Making pasta was fun and we felt a sense of achievement when we ate it for lunch! Rocco was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the local area. The bikes were well maintained and smooth - the electric turbo charge very handy on the hills! A fantastic experience!”

“The e-bike ride was fantastic, we absolutely loved it. Pietro and Macarena were fantastic guides and a lot of fun. 100% would ride again. The cooking class was a bit disappointing though, only because it was not as advertised. It was still fun, and chef William and his wife were so lovely and it was a pleasure to be invited into their home (their gardens are so beautiful!) but it was not like what the activity description suggested: "The chef will teach you to cook some of South of Italy typical dishes which will be: bruschetta, gnocchi with tomato sauce, chicken escalope with lemon sauce, rucola salad with vinegar and…”
