Strade del Gusto 2027

Book your flights to arrive into Rome, where our adventure begins.

We’ll meet at our hotel in Rome, and run through the program for the journey ahead. Later that evening, we’ll enjoy a traditional Italian welcome dinner, raising a glass to the adventure ahead before settling in for a good night’s rest.

Breakfast at the hotel before we head to the rental depot to collect our motorcycles for the tour. A quick commute through the streets of Rome before heading out of the city. We can leave our big gear bags at the rental depot until we return.

The ride begins by leaving Rome behind and heading into the heart of the Italian countryside, where winding roads lead through rolling hills, picturesque villages, and landscapes shaped by centuries of farming and winemaking. As you make your way towards Montepulciano, the scenery becomes unmistakably Tuscan—vineyards, olive groves, cypress-lined roads, and hilltop towns setting the stage for the culinary experiences ahead. It’s a day where the riding is spectacular, the scenery unforgettable, and the promise of great food and wine awaits at the end.

Our loop ride from Montepulciano is pure Tuscan fun. We head into quieter backroads and rolling hills with beautiful countryside. Olive groves, vineyards, and big views line the way, with just enough time off the bike to soak it all in before looping back to Montepulciano in the afternoon—ready for a great meal.

Leaving Montepulciano behind, the route winds north through some of Italy’s most beautiful countryside, trading the rolling Tuscan hills for the diverse landscapes of Emilia-Romagna. Along the way, enjoy sweeping mountain roads, charming villages, and quiet backroads before arriving in Bologna, the vibrant heart of Italy’s renowned food region. With its historic streets, lively piazzas, and legendary culinary traditions, Bologna is the perfect destination to end a day of exceptional riding.

A highlight of the day is a guided tour of the Ducati Factory and Museum where you will witness the birth place of the Ducati brand where it has stood for 100 years. After lunch we will make a loop ride out of Bologna through the hills of Emilia-Romagna, where great roads and great food go hand in hand.

Leaving Bologna behind, the route heads south through the beautiful Italian countryside towards Livorno and the Mediterranean coast. Winding roads and sweeping landscapes lead you towards the port, where the next chapter of the adventure begins.

In Livorno, we board the overnight ferry to Olbia, giving us a chance to relax, enjoy dinner and recharge before arriving in Sardinia the following morning, ready to explore.

Arrive in Olbia and start exploring Sardinia, with a mix of winding mountain roads, rugged landscapes and spectacular coastal scenery. The route takes us away from the port and into the heart of the island, with opportunities to stop in traditional villages, take in the views and experience some of Sardinia’s local food and culture. A great introduction to the island before settling in for the evening.

With a full day in and around Olbia, we’ll head out and explore more of the island’s spectacular roads and scenery. Expect winding coastal routes, rugged mountain landscapes and plenty of opportunities to stop in small villages and enjoy the local food and atmosphere. A relaxed day of riding and exploring, with the flexibility to take in some of Sardinia’s highlights along the way

From Olbia, we head across the island towards Alghero, with a route that showcases some of Sardinia’s best motorcycle roads. Expect flowing bends, elevation changes and long stretches of open road as we cross the island from east to west. The day finishes in Alghero, a historic coastal city with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of options for an evening by the water.

Today is a loop ride from Alghero, giving us the chance to explore some of the best roads and scenery around the area without packing the bags. The route takes in Sardinia’s rugged coastline and inland roads, with plenty of flowing corners, open stretches and spectacular viewpoints along the way. Back in Alghero by late afternoon, there’s time to relax and enjoy the town before dinner.

Our final day in Sardinia takes us back across the island from Alghero to Olbia. We’ll make the most of Sardinia’s winding inland roads and varied scenery before arriving at the port in time for the overnight ferry.

Once on board, settle in for the journey to Civitavecchia, with a chance to relax after another day on the road.
