VENDICARI NATURE RESERVE

PEDALING BETWEEN SEA AND VINEYARDS: VENDICARI THROUGH NATURE, FLAVORS, AND WINE

Starting from San Paolo di Noto, you will pedal along quiet country roads and secondary lanes winding through vineyards, lemon orchards, orange groves, and olive trees—instantly immersing yourself in the scents and colors of the Hyblaean landscape. Heading southeast, the route skims the coastline, offering open sea views as you approach the entrance of the Vendicari Nature Reserve. One of the Mediterranean’s most important wetland ecosystems, its marshes, lagoons, and beaches welcome migratory birds and wildlife in a pristine natural setting. After a guided tour inside the Vendicari Nature Reserve, the ride continues and concludes with a lunch and a special tasting of local wines.
