Description of the activity
After a welcome coffee at Tenero station, you set off by bike along the shores of Lake Maggiore to Ascona, where a guide will tell you about the agricultural specialities of the Tenuta Terreni Alla Maggia. After a tasting and an aperitif, we set off for the town of Locarno: a light lunch with a view of the Piazza Grande awaits you at the Gran Caffè Verbano. Re-energized by a good risotto, we return to Tenero for a visit to the historic Cantina Matasci with wine tasting.
