Sardinia Food Tour
Guided in English.
Japanese support available on selected dates or on request.
Overview
Welcome to a journey where Mediterranean food meets a passion for cycling.
This is Sardinia: an island of bold flavours, where winding roads open onto breathtaking views and every dish carries an ancient story. On this tour you don't just ride, you experience the island with all your senses.
Day by day, we explore the heart of Sardinian food culture together, starting with the basics: olive oil, wine and cheese. Then it's hands-on: traditional pasta such as malloreddus, culurgiones and fregola, and delicate, surprising fish and meat dishes.
And of course, great riding! Cross hills covered in Cannonau vineyards, ride one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the Mediterranean, and enjoy the timeless landscapes of Montiferru and Arborea. Culture too: visit the ancient ruins of Tharros and the UNESCO-listed nuraghe of Su Nuraxi.
Choose the bike that suits you, from lightweight carbon road bikes to comfortable, modern e-bikes.
And then, the food. Every day brings a cooking experience or a meeting with local food artisans, and dinners in family trattorias, rustic osterias and refined restaurants are full of delicious surprises.
By the end of the trip you will take home more than memories: new cooking skills and inspiration to enrich your everyday life.
