Alberobello to Locorotondo E-bike Tour: Focaccia & Wine

Pedal 20 km through trulli farmland, tasting what locals eat every day

A 3-hour e-bike tour from Alberobello to Locorotondo that covers 20 km of country roads past trulli and dry stone walls, with stops to taste fresh Apulian focaccia and wine at a traditional bakery, almond sweets at a pastry shop, and seasonal fruit picked straight from the trees. A live guide leads in English or Italian, and the route stays off main roads: local life rather than tourist sights.

The experience

Alberobello sits at the start of a route that rolls through the Valle d'Itria on e-bikes, heading toward Locorotondo. The 20 km (about 12 miles) crosses countryside lanes past trulli, farmhouses and dry stone walls: the landscape the guide lives in every day, not the postcard version. You pedal at an easy pace, stopping where locals actually eat.

The first real stop is Giovanni's bakery in Locorotondo, where focaccia comes out of the oven filled with your choice of charcuterie and vegetables, paired with a glass of wine or a drink. Before heading back to Alberobello, you stop at Maria's pastry shop for almond sweets. The kind made in home kitchens, not for tourists. Along the way you pick seasonal fruit straight from the trees: cherries, figs, pears, blackberries, mulberries, depending on what month you go. The ride ends with a tasting of rosolii, the homemade liqueur locals make.

The guide speaks English or Italian and carries bottled water for the ride. E-bikes handle the terrain, and helmets are provided. You need a minimum height of 163 cm (5'4") to fit the bikes. The whole thing takes 3 hours, and luggage storage is available so you don't carry a bag the whole way.
