Which tasting should I choose?

It depends on where you're staying and how far you want to ride. From Lecce, the easiest is the one in the centre at the end of the day. If your route crosses the countryside west of Lecce, Guagnano, Salice Salentino, Leverano and Copertino are on the way. On the Ionian side there are Nardò and Gallipoli.

Can I ride to the winery?

Yes, but we plan the day so you don't get back on the bike after drinking: the tasting at the end of the ride, close to the drop-off point, or with the bike collected where you finish, at an extra cost based on distance. I suggest the right order in your quote.

How much does it cost?

I give you the price in your tailored quote, together with bikes and route. No online payment.

Wine tasting in Salento, paired with your bike ride

Negroamaro is the wine of the countryside I ride through almost every day, around Guagnano, Salice Salentino, Leverano and Copertino. I've gathered here the tastings I'd pair with a self-guided ride: historic wineries inland, organic wineries, vineyards near Porto Selvaggio and Gallipoli, and a tasting in the centre of Lecce if you'd rather end the day in town.

Every tasting is by booking and subject to availability. Send me your dates and how many you are, I check with the winery and send you a tailored quote with bikes, route and experiences.

A practical tip: put the tasting at the end of the day, after you've dropped off the bike, or on a day off the saddle.
