Don't Drink and Ride! Wine Country by Bike

[@solomonmengeu1003]

Great video, Madeline thanks for sharing. Kudos for highlighting an important part of Italy that isn't Toscana or Piemonte. I love wines from Alto Adige, and Schiava and Lagrein are amazing. Cheers!

[@gregg48]

This is the content I didn't know I absolutely needed.

[@VoroninHop]

Literally just shared it with a pal & said pretty much the same thing!

[@piotrlukosik7489]

It looks like an amazing adventure. Can't wait the next episode ❤

[@sindregudbrandsen7344]

Loved this! Could really feel your anxiety, but also your admiration and excitement about the crazy stuff you did/were about to do in one of the most beautiful wine regions. Thank you for your honest, educational and down to earth content.

[@FlorianJunk]

The climbs on their own are already wonderful but the selection of wines and these marvelous bikes are cherries on the cake.

[@the_wine_md]

Not sure I’ve enjoyed one of your vids more than this! Fun, beautiful and informative from start to finish. Nicely produced. (loved the 🎧 analogy 😊). Aldo was the perfect partner Madeline. Hope you can find a way to do another trip like this. Taking us along the way you did was the best. 🍷

No drink and drive - Yup! "No drink and ride." ? 8:08 In all my years of biking, I can honestly say that's a rule that... I've never really adhered to. ;) Edit: Great video! Edit-edit: Wow! The 'audiophile headphones' vs. 'high-end audio system in a dedicated room' is a great analogy!

[@silasrobertshaw8122]

My tour of Wilammette did not adhere to this rule either. lol

[@susanhartwilson8935]

Have to praise the cinematography and editing of this video. It is so well done and engages me in the subject matter in a way that makes me want to become a cycling sommelier😅

[@winefolly]

Yay, thank you!

[@raysoto]

Inspiring. This is the type of wine travel experience I dream of.

[@stevenmuir1834]

Amazing trip! I look forward to the next installment.

[@danpickard3258]

Thank you for being an engaging, educator and creator, and not a wine critic. I am so glad you are still riding your bicycle, telling folks to “peace-out,” and to “learn by drinking,” oops, I mean by “tasting.”

[@winefolly]

I appreciate that!

[@RJWSuffolk]

Thank you, what an adventure, what great people!

[@SpokenWines]

What a place. Love it. Thank you for revealing it 😁

[@ecycled3d]

OMG! You hit every pleasure button for me on this one. Great video. Thank you!

[@winefolly]

Awesome! In good company!

[@paxsreekantan3639]

This is eerie! I was reminded of my road trip from Bolzano to Venice via Verona just last night! Totally missed all these fabulous wines and even Lake Garda! Hope you've got that planned on your tour!

[@hnurminen]

Now I'm jealous - wine and bike riding, two of my favourite things in this world. And those Pegoretti bikes...

[@nicensleazy1892]

As an ex pro cyclist , I know this frame maker well. Dario will always be remembered. Other great Italian frame makers are Sarto , formigli and Passoni etc. I have raced on Colnago frames for many years. Looks like you had fun. X

[@evanbragin9620]

OMG. You rocked the climbs and the wines!!! Looks amazing!

[@abucherify]

Sooo cool your vid! Combine sports with wine is really great and not an opposition! Wish you a lot of fun in Alto Adige and nice weather!!!!

[@ROBERTO00G]

Love this video style!

[@KatnissEverdeen735]

love this video! I just moved to Montpellier, France and am very excited (and intimidated) by the immense amount of wine, culture, and history here!

[@diggity53]

Great video. I love your headphones analogy! I'm going to have to remember that one...

[@timfishback6137]

Great video. Love this region. Loved hiking, mountain biking and drinking wine around Bolzano.

[@carlcadregari7768]

One of my favorite regions. This is a great video. Thank you.

[@oujoaklandca675]

Thoroughly enjoyable travelogue. Bring back some BARTHENAU VIGNA S. URBANO Pinot Nero Alto, we'll do a tasting!

[@ErwinDass]

Elena Walch is fantastic wine. Been drinking it for years.

[@roses2926]

Thrilled for you, Madeline! Stay strong and keep it coming.

[@silasrobertshaw8122]

We need Wine Folly cycling gear!!!

[@tiger1701]

Wine + Bikes 🚴🏻

[@chriswiseman5985]

What a trip, Madeline!

[@debbieelkington1643]

Just when I thought you couldn’t get any cooler 🚴🏼‍♀️

[@altoadigewines]

Wow, thank you so much for this amazing video! W can’t wait to see more of this content and to have you back in Alto Adige soon!

[@ruud24k]

let's go cycling in Alto Adige! I get tired just from the thought of it XD

[@leewes]

I really enjoyed this and would watch an hour long episode, please make more cycling tour/tasting videos. around Napa maybe? thank you

[@gtweath]

Excellent, fun video!

[@winefolly]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@griffin_barnett]

"Not sure I can taste the Wagner in this Chardonnay" lol classic line

[@silasrobertshaw8122]

Wagner says, I love the smell of Chardonnay in the morning!

[@ws7609]

So cool.

[@rmnpff]

greeting from Alto Adige a.k.a. South Tyrol 👋🏻

[@DryRedWine]

This is a fantastic video. The blend of the scenic views on your bike rides and the storytelling along with all the wine tastings and the fun facts with all the maps about the different regions where the different types of grapes grow, made it really fun to watch. The Royal We just started to post videos about wine on our new wine channel. Would love to know what you think. And yes, we're working hard to improve the production. We'd still love to hear any comments / criticisms or other feedback. Cheers!

[@winefolly]

Very cool! Yes, been very focused on story... omg, video is so much harder than designing infographics and creating wine maps. ha.

[@ukaszmaksymowicz4579]

This is cooler than cool. This is sub zero... I know the region like a back of my hand, so I suspect u used a car couple of times due to distances between the valleys, but still super impressive :) It looks like my new dream holiday ❤

[@gregmccain343]

New viewer love the channel!!!

[@BGcrew88]

I wanna be there with you guys🤝🙂🫡🔅🍷🍽🚲🇮🇹

[@gokhan.kutluer]

For the ones wondering why Pegoretti is a special brand, I share a short documentary about Dario Pegoretti. He was a true artist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3K4imSloMqsfpYsi=CBWunA3fKxe6xvDS

[@joseortiz5372]

Grenache indigenous Italy?

[@winefolly]

Grenache aka Garnacha is native to the Iberian Peninsula! Curious, what in the video made you ask this question?

[@alexandrewaltrich6933]

[@H0ONE]

budo

[@AlexWtr]

The name Alto Adige was invented by the fascists. The correct name of the region is Südtirol (South Tyrol).

[@winefolly]

I have since learned this is a very touchy subject for the local folks here. Since both Italian and Germanic languages are printed here (Südtirol and Alto Adige) most outsiders call it Alto Adige since that's the Italian name and technically, it's an Italian wine region.
