How should I tip my DuVine guides?
If you appreciate the service your DuVine Adventures guides provide, we recommend each guest to provide a gratuity of anywhere between 150 to 200 euros per guide.

What travel documents will I need for my bike trip?
All travelers to Italy are required to have a valid passport.
Please make 2 copies of your passport, visa, and personal identification before you depart. Keep one set of copies with you in a separate location from your travel documents, and leave the other set of copies with a contact at home before you depart.

How should I get in DuVine shape?
The best way to prepare for your DuVine bicycle trip is to spend some time on the saddle.  We understand that you might be limited in the amount of riding you can do, but try to engage in some type of cardiovascular activity.  As you prepare for your trip, try to bicycle some hills and some flat stretches — the kind of terrain that you will find on your Piedmont bicycle tour.  We have options to ride every day and, of course, great van support.

How should I pack?
Please limit your luggage to one medium-sized suitcase and one carry-on. Complete your DuVine luggage tag with your name, address and phone number. Try not to over pack; you will not wear all your clothing!
