Colnago & Tuscany

Italy at Its Best!

Join Destination Cycling and Colnago Bicycles for an incredible journey through Italia, and experience Italian life! Your tour begins at the Colnago bicycle factory, Ernesto Colnago has opened his factory and collection for us, for the day. Transform yourself as you walk through the collection of bicycles used at events and races such as the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Giro di Lombardia, as well as various World championship races. The bicycles within the Colnago collection have been ridden by Ernesto Colnago, Johan Museeuw, Giuseppe Saronni and many other world famous bike racers and well known people throughout the world.

After your visit to this one of a kind bicycle museum it’s time to head north to Lake Como and the town of Bellagio, home to the church of the cyclist, the Ghisallo. Here at the Ghisallo we will enjoy a memorable lunch with breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding region. The following day we head south to the coastline and the area known as Cinque Terre. Known for the famous walking paths along the water, we have found this to be a spectacular area for riding bicycles because of quiet roads, stunning scenery, and fantastic terrain.

We will then proceed to Lucca the following day. Lucca is home to many Professional cyclists, and the USA Cycling center. We’ll enjoy lunch in the town’s central piazza, then, we will have a short 1-hour transfer to our new home in Tuscany! Tuscany continues to deliver the best food nature has to offer, this along with some of the most sought after Red and White wines the earth has to offer. We’ll enjoy 3 days in Tuscany, soaking up the sun, Italian culture, and some of the best roads in the world for cycling. We have built three outstanding rides that will take us to different regions of Tuscany which are sure to have you looking for more!
