Bespoke cycling tours and true local experiences, with every detail perfected.
Our Home, Your Adventure
We’re Susi and Benji, and Epic Italy is our way of sharing the life we love.
Every year we host a small number of private groups in northern Italy. Bassano del Grappa, our home, sits between vineyards, quiet villages and the climbs of Monte Grappa and the Dolomites, on roads the Giro d’Italia has passed through time and again.
Benji has been on a bike since he was a teenager and knows every climb, café stop, and quiet back road around Bassano. Susi grew up here, is training as a sommelier, and knows the best family run restaurants and tucked-away vineyards.
Together, we’ve built Epic Italy to feel like joining old friends at the place they call home.
Con affetto,
Susi & Benji
Your Trip, Your Way
Two formats, built on the same groundwork. Both suit groups of two to twelve.
Susi and Benji host you from arrival to departure. Routes we ride ourselves, Basso bike rental, meals at our table, every transfer and booking taken care of. For groups who would rather leave the planning to us.
Basso bike rental, GPX routes, area guides, pre-booked accommodation and lunches, welcome pack, and WhatsApp support throughout.
“My mother and I booked a self-guided trip with Epic Italy… Ben and Susi took care of everything for us, and we never felt alone even though the trip was self-guided.”
- Hulda S., Norway
Where You’ll Ride
With us, the ride always fits the rider. The pace is tailored to the group, with time for café stops, photos, and soaking up the views.
Choose your landscape. Optional climbs can be added along the way, so everyone rides at their own level.
Gravel vineyard tracks around Bassano, and Monte Grappa with ten different approaches known from the Giro d’Italia. Off the bike: white asparagus, bigoli d’anatra and Distilleria Nardini.
Endless gravel tracks and quiet roads through the home of Prosecco, the Colli Asolani and Montello reds, and Treviso, birthplace of tiramisù.
Winding cycle paths down to Italy’s largest lake, a swim after the ride, and the Moser family winery with its museum celebrating Francesco Moser.
The passes of the Dolomites for those chasing a summit, or the valley cycle paths of the Valsugana for an easier day.
“Despite booking at the last minute, everything was flawlessly organized from start to finish. The cycling routes were simply spectacular: panoramic roads, picturesque villages, breathtaking scenery, a few perfectly placed climbs to earn our aperitivo…”
- Manu & Cath, Canada
Ways to Shape Your 2027 Trip
Some ride every morning. Some never clip in. Everyone’s around one table in the evening.
“Ben and Susi created an incredible self-guided cycling tour for my husband and me through Valpolicella and Lake Garda… they personally checked every route beforehand to ensure the best experience.”
