Back to the exploration

Torgiano and Deruta, heartlands of Wine and Maiolica Ceramics

Through vineyards and hills on the trail of ancient arts and crafts

The cycling tour starts from Torre Baglioni (tower), a 13th-century construction just outside the historic centre of Torgiano and continues towards Deruta through lovely rural landscape that’s among the most characteristic in Umbria. Once in Deruta, the city of maiolica ceramics/pottery, on request it will be possible to make a small detour on the itinerary to explore the historic centre with its typical craft shops. We will then continue along the Tiber river, flanked by farms and cultivated fields and follow a pleasant stretch of dirt track that will make the ride even more picturesque. Once back near Torgiano, a short climb leads to the historic centre of the village where you’ll get a view of the vast expanses of vineyards that have made this town famous, another typical picture-postcard landscape with the profile of Perugia and Monte Subasio peeking out just a bit further away. Book your tour now, the route is easy and suitable for everyone, even the less experienced. Our guides will help you discover the hidden secrets of the territory and thus make your experience even more exciting.
