With a bottle of local wine each three guests, and a generous selection of traditional cold appetizers, reconnect yourself with the slow vibe of Piedmont before pedaling to the starting point of this bike tour.
Nice day in the countryside around Alba. We booked this tour because we did a similar experience in Spain and we were well impressed with the recorded track that was given to us. The app worked all the way through without problems. We did the tour of the cellar as described on the website and then they gave us the lunch box. I requested a vegetarian meal and we got it. So very well done.

WHAT TO BRING
Packing the right essentials for your e-bike self-guided tour in Alba is crucial for a comfortable and enjoyable ride. Here are a few items you should consider bringing along:
1. Sunscreen: Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by applying sunscreen before your ride. Opt for a sweat-proof and water-resistant formula for long-lasting protection.
2. Snacks: even if the picnic provides a generous quantity of food (equal to lunch), keep your energy levels up by packing some lightweight and nutritious snacks. Granola bars, trail mix, and fresh fruit are all excellent options for a quick energy boost.
3. Rain gear: Piedmont’s weather can be unpredictable, so it’s always a good idea to pack a lightweight rain jacket or poncho. This will keep you dry in case of unexpected showers.
4. Repair kit: make sure to ask to our rental bike point to get a repair kit and their phone number in case of emergency.
5. Camera: Capture the beautiful landscapes and memorable moments of your e-bike adventure by bringing a camera or smartphone with a good quality camera.
