Experience the ultimate Italian dream with our 'Tastes of Marche' self-guided Vespa tour. Starting from Porto San Giorgio, you will hop onto a vibrant, iconic red Vespa and set off on an 81km journey through the rolling hills and breathtaking landscapes of the Marche countryside. This 6-hour adventure is designed for those who crave freedom, authentic flavors, and the charm of untouched medieval villages.
Your journey begins with a detailed road book, guiding you through a curated itinerary of the region's best-kept secrets. Your first stop is Campofilone, famous for its exquisite egg pasta. Don't miss the chance to visit a local factory and pick up some authentic Maccheroncini. Next, wind your way to Montefiore, a proud member of the 'Borghi più belli d’Italia,' where deep-rooted gastronomic traditions come to life.
Continue your ride to the hilltop village of Cossignano, surrounded by ancient walls and renowned for its premium olive oil and wine production. The highlight of your tour awaits in Offida, where we have arranged an exclusive tasting of three local wines at one of the region's top-rated wineries. Take your time to stroll through Offida’s charming streets and witness local artisans crafting intricate 'tombolo' lace, a true symbol of Italian heritage.
Safety is our priority, so enjoy your wine tasting at a leisurely pace before heading toward Ripatransone. Known as the 'Belvedere of the Piceno,' this village offers panoramic views and is home to Italy’s narrowest alleyway! Conclude your adventure in Massignano, just a short distance from the coast, where you can treat yourself to fresh seafood before returning your Vespa to Porto San Giorgio. This tour is the perfect blend of culture, nature, and culinary delight, offering an intimate look at the heart of Italy.
Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes for a safer ride. Always keep your road book handy and plan your wine tasting early in the route to ensure you have plenty of time to enjoy the villages before driving back.
Choose this Vespa tour for the perfect balance of independence and expert curation.

It is the most stylish and exhilarating way to uncover the hidden soul of the Marche region at your own pace.
