About this experience

This tour offers a unique combination of elite art and Umbrian lifestyle. Unlike the classic excursions, we take you to the beating heart of wine culture: Torgiano. We will visit the MUVIT, defined by the New York Times as the best wine museum in Italy, and the MOO, for an immersive journey through archaeology and the millennial history of oil.

Accompanied by a certified Instructor and Guide, you will ride safely among the open-air sculptures of Brufa to the Tiber cycle path. The grand finale is a sensory experience at the Bar Context: tasting of oil, wine and local products with Jazz background and an exclusive gift. Choosing Renty Bike means experiencing authentic Umbria where the culture of the great museums meets the pleasure of vinyl.

Detailed itinerary

1

You climb to the medieval village of Brufa, famous throughout Italy for its extraordinary combination of contemporary art and rural landscape.
As we cycle along the ridge of the hill, we will be surrounded by Brufa Sculpture Park – a permanent exhibition with over 30 works of modern art by internationally renowned artists. The sculptures are not closed in a museum, but "inhabit" the territory, integrating perfectly between the rows of vines and olive trees.
What will we do at this stage :
360 degree panoramic stop: We will reach the highest point to admire one of the most iconic views of Umbria, ranging from Perugia to Assisi, up to Mount Subasio.

Art & Bike: We will make short photo stops in front of the most significant installations to understand how art can dialogue with agriculture and local history.

Atmosphere: You will feel the peace of a place where time seems to stand still, perfect for taking unforgettable photos

MUVIT : The most important Wine Museum in Italy
Located in the 17th-century Palazzo Graziani-Baglioni, the MUVIT is defined by the New York Times as "the best wine museum in Italy". Through 20 rooms, we will experience a fascinating journey spanning 5,000 years of history: from archaeological finds from Greek and Etruscan times to precious Renaissance ceramics, to monumental wooden presses.

It is not only a technical exhibition, but an artistic and cultural story that explains the indissoluble link between man and the vine. The freshness of the ancient cellars offers the perfect break before leaving, preparing you to understand the value of every sip we will taste at the end of the tour.

Here's a description for the MOO (Museum of Olive and Oil), optimized to stay under 800 characters (we're about 600) and perfect for Viator audiences:

MOO : The secrets of Umbria's Yellow Gold
Located in a charming nucleus of medieval houses, the MOO tells the thousand-year history of the olive tree, a symbol of peace and a fundamental resource of the Umbrian territory. The museum itinerary reveals the evolution of oil extraction techniques: from ancient stone millstones to modern systems.

You will discover the mythological origins of the plant, the healing properties of the oil and its daily use over the centuries, from lighting to cosmetics. A fundamental step to understand the quality and effort that lie behind the extra virgin olive oil that we will taste at the end of the day. A sensory and cultural experience in the heart of the village of Torgiano.

Here is the description for this technical and scenic section, optimized to stay under 800 characters and highlight the safety and beauty of the route :

From the banks of the Tiber to Jazz music
Leaving the village of Torgiano, we will immerse ourselves in the greenery of the Tiber Valley. We will ride along the new cycle path, a flat and safe path that will allow us to enjoy the silence of nature. The highlight of this section is the crossing of the new bridge over the Tiber in "La Barca": a modern work that offers an unprecedented perspective on the river and connects the territories in total safety, away from traffic.

It will be a relaxing and relaxing ride of about 6 km, surrounded by cultivated fields and riparian woods, which will lead us directly to the hamlet of Ferriera. Here, the rhythm of the ride will give way to the notes of Jazz for the most anticipated moment of the day.

5

Jazz, Flavors and Vinyls: The Grand Finale.
Our tour culminates at Bar Contexto in Ferriera, a place where tradition meets contemporary sound. Here, the senses will be the protagonists: you will relax with a guided tasting of local wines and excellent extra virgin olive oil, accompanied by handmade appetizers that enhance the flavors of Umbria.

But the experience does not end there. While tasting the typical products, you will be enveloped by the warm notes of a Jazz music selection, creating an elegant and convivial atmosphere. And to bring a piece of this day with you, you will receive an exclusive gift: an old vinyl or CD of Jazz music, perhaps from a historic edition of Umbria Jazz, to celebrate the artistic soul of our region.

Here's the description of the last stretch and closing of the tour, ideal for the "Return" or "Additional Information" section on Viator, maintaining the professional and welcoming style of your Renty Bike activity.

Return and Final Debriefing at Renty Bike
After the refreshing jazz break, we will travel the last 5 minutes of flat road to return to the starting point in Via Manzoni in Ponte San Giovanni. A light ride to conclude our loop of about 25 km in a smooth way.

Once we arrive at the Renty Bike base, we will dedicate 10 minutes to the final debriefing: it will be the perfect time to exchange the last impressions on the tour, answer your technical curiosities and greet you with a special memory of the day. As a Bike Tour Guide and Instructor, I will be at your disposal for advice on the next itineraries to discover in the saddle. It's time to say goodbye, with the music and flavors of Umbria still in your heart.
