Food & wine Cycling along this itinerary, you cross the territory of Fiumicello, famous for its peaches to the point of hosting the highly anticipated regional peach fair every year. Reaching the final destination of Aquileia, a locality among the cradles of regional viticulture, you can start a journey back in time discovering the flavors of Ancient Rome by tasting Dolce Aqvileia, a dessert with a soft and creamy heart made of walnuts, spelt, figs, and honey, enclosed in a crunchy shortcrust pastry. Recommended dish: Dolce Aqvileia (or peaches macerated with wine).
Itinerary Starting from Monfalcone railway station, you cycle towards Ronchi dei Legionari and reach Trieste Airport, where there is also the homonymous train station where trains carrying bicycles on the Trieste-Venice railway line stop. You then proceed towards Begliano, Turriaco, and Pieris and continue to Fiumicello, from where you finally reach Aquileia.
