Parenzana – More Than a Bike Tour

The Parenzana is much more than a former railway line turned into a cycling trail – it is a journey through time, landscapes, and authentic Istrian experiences. Our offer goes far beyond the “classic tour” – we create memories that last.

For guests who seek more than just a ride, we design fully customized Parenzana experiences. Imagine a private e-bike journey through vineyards and olive groves, stopping in hidden hilltop towns, tasting Istrian wines in boutique family wineries, and enjoying a traditional lunch in a rustic tavern.

For true hedonists and travelers in search of something extraordinary, we offer exclusive add-ons:

Wine Story on Two Wheels – a private wine tasting led by the winemaker, featuring several carefully selected varieties, from fresh Malvasia to aged reds.

Truffle Hunting Adventure – a unique blend of cycling and truffle hunting with local guides and trained dogs, followed by a tasting of freshly found truffles.

Our tours are designed exclusively for small groups or private arrangements, as we believe the true magic of Istria lies in personal connections and intimate experiences. Every detail can be tailored to the guests’ wishes – the pace, the focus, and the highlights of the tour.

This is not just cycling. This is a story of Istria, lived through all the senses – the landscapes, the wine, the food, the scent of truffles, and the people who bring this region to life.
