Turning cycling trips into elegant, personalized adventures is the mission of DuVine Cycling + Adventure Co. According to Jackie Wells of DuVine, the team acts as “trip design artisans,” crafting experiences with careful attention to detail. That handcrafted approach extends to the guides, who bring deep local knowledge and varied professional backgrounds. The roster includes founder and avid cyclist Andy Levine, pro athlete Andro Tartaglia, photojournalist David Cornwell and author Thomas Kevill-Davies.
DuVine emphasizes small group sizes, top-quality equipment, flexible itineraries and attentive road support. Riders also receive benefits through the Peloton Club loyalty program. Tours cover destinations across Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, offering a wide range of landscapes and cultural experiences tailored to different ability levels.
Food plays a central role in DuVine’s tours. Culinary experiences range from artisan market tastings to meals at Michelin-starred restaurants, with local ingredients and regional traditions highlighted throughout each route. A recent addition to their roster is the Chef on Wheels Piedmont Bike Tour, a culinary-focused ride through the Italian region where the Slow Food Movement began.
On the Piedmont tour, New York chef Seamus Mullen, himself a cycling enthusiast, joins guests for a series of food-centered experiences. Highlights include a hands-on cooking class and dinner at a family-run farmhouse, scenic rides along bike paths that pass Dolcetto and Moscato vineyards, market-shopping excursions accompanied by the chef, and a picnic at the castle of Morsasco. These moments combine regional gastronomy with gentle cycling, offering immersive access to Piedmont’s culinary and cultural landscape.
Whether riders seek challenging routes, relaxed cultural immersion or immersive culinary programming, DuVine’s model focuses on high-quality equipment, knowledgeable guides and thoughtfully designed itineraries. The company’s emphasis on craftsmanship, local expertise and food-forward experiences distinguishes its tours for travelers who want more than just a bike ride—those who want a curated, memorable journey.
