You will enjoy 3 bike routes, surrounded by nature and among the vineyards, tastings of local products at the local farms and craftsmen, and, obviously, visits to selected wineries.
1) Ceptura trail
11 km, +/- 70m
An easy route that connects SERVE winery to the former Ceptura coal mine. Half of the route is on the old industrial railway embankment, on a cobbled and dirt road. Here we will be able to admire a surprisingly beautiful landscape, at the edge of Ceptura, on a road that climbs smoothly. We will have a snack stop at the cow farm next to the former mine, after which we will stop at Adrian, a skilled carpenter from Ceptura, for a barrel-making demonstration. The return to the starting / finishing point is on asphalt. The winery visit and wine tasting will take place at the end of the tour.
2) Urlati trail
35 km, +/- 350m
A medium level route that crosses several villages in the northern part of Urlați. The lunch snack will be full of surprises at a local producer. The return to Ceptura will be made among the inviting vineyards and with a wine tasting. If the weather allows it, we will have a few km on dirt roads, the rest being on paved country roads. The day will end with a visit to Adrian, a skilled carpenter from Ceptura, for a craft demonstration and a visit to the winery & a wine tasting.
3) Tohani trail
30 km, +/- 270m
A medium level route that takes us to the Tohani hilly area, with one of the most spectacular wine views in Dealu Mare. We will cycle through the vineyards of Tohani, Budureasca, Licorna, Velvet wineries and we will stop on our way to an organic apple orchard to energize ourselves with fresh juice and a picnic in the Velvet vineyards. The route is on asphalt and dirt roads through the vineyard, being suitable for XC / gravel / MTB type bicycles.
