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.

   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.

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.
