Cooking ebike experience in Gioia del Colle

The ride starts in the countryside around Gioia del Colle, following low-traffic rural roads at a relaxed pace suitable for everyone. The focus is not on distance or performance, but on observing and understanding the agricultural context in which Puglia’s cuisine is born. One of the first stops is a seasonal vegetable garden, where participants harvest the produce that will later be used for the final meal. What the garden offers at that moment is what will be cooked, without fixed menus or preselected ingredients.

A local and human experience

From the countryside, the route gradually returns toward the town center, highlighting the natural transition from rural land to everyday urban life. A stop at a trusted local shop, bakery or small grocery allows the group to purchase complementary ingredients needed for the final preparation. The experience then moves into the kitchen, where participants actively prepare simple traditional recipes together. This is not a tourist cooking class, but a shared and practical moment that ends with a light seasonal lunch prepared with what has been harvested and cooked. The exact meeting point is communicated after booking and the map shown is only a general geographic reference.
