The Bike It! Bellagio E-Bike Tasting Tour: A Culinary Adventure in Bellagio, Lake Como

By Alex Stein, Shop Assistant and Bike Guide
Nestled on the shores of Lake Como, Bellagio is a picturesque town known for its stunning views, charming streets, and exquisite culinary offerings. Most visitors wander the streets of the downtown ZTL (Zona traffico limitato), but if you are spending several days in the area, there’s so much more to see beyond the central Borgo. One of the best ways to explore the area's gastronomic delights is through the Bike It Bellagio Tasting Tour. This unique experience combines the thrill of cycling with the joy of discovering local cuisine, making it a must-do for anyone visiting Bellagio, Italy. Enjoy the battery assist on your powerful e-bike and you don’t have to worry about straining yourself, but can instead enjoy the adventure.

Where is Bellagio? Bellagio is a small town situated on the edge of a promontory that divides the southern part of Lake Como into two branches. Although Bellagio is relatively small, its charm and beauty have earned it the nickname "The Pearl of Lake Como." To get to our first food stop, we climb the famous switchbacks of the Ghisallo Pass, a historic cycling road. On the battery-assisted ascent, the tour takes you to several beautiful vista stops to see the beauty of Bellagio from above. Your guide will share history of the land, the region and the people.
 
Culinary Delights: Three Tasting Stops  Bellagio is famous for its delicious Italian cuisine. We have chosen three super local spots to give you a flavor for our local fare. Plan for breakfast at a local agriturismo in the magical forests above the lake. Then descend to a family-owned and constructed Baita that serves prosecco and super local meat and cheese. Finally we close with a pasta course at a restaurant with a view to brag about. Make sure to come hungry. And don’t worry, let us know of your allergies and food restrictions. We can accommodate gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and most allergies. This is Bellagio’s best fine-dining.

A Family-Friendly Destination: Exploring Bellagio with Kids Bellagio is a safe and welcoming destination for families. The Bike It Bellagio Tasting Tour offers a family-friendly way to explore the town and its culinary offerings. The guided tours are suitable for all ages, with children under 25kg sitting in a child seat on an electric bike pedaled by mom or dad. We offer a shuttle up the mountain for kids who are able to manage the bike on roads, but don’t want to take on the initial steep ascent. This service is an extra and can be accommodated for on request.

What to Wear: Check the weather just the day before to understand what will really happen. We recommend www.3bmeteo.com. It’s never a bad idea to have a rain jacket just in case. Temperatures can change as you get higher, so the rain jacket can serve as a layer when you’re higher up and when you descend and feel the wind chill especially in the Spring and Fall months.
 
Capturing the Beauty: Photo Spots and Views  Bellagio is a photographer's paradise and has become an Instagram/TikTok phenomenon. We’ll show you some hidden viewing points that the average Bellagio visitor just doesn’t reach. See the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Bellagio ferries and the alp mountains from up high.
