GRAVEL x Food JOURNEY

When: 5th - 11th May 2025 Duration: 7 days total | 5 days riding

There’s a distinctly Mediterranean charm from the vines, olive trees, pines and oaks, under the almost always-blue sky. Sprawling farmland mingles with wooded hills and is dotted with medieval stone villages. This is the Empordà, a region of the Costa Brava, known for its gastronomic treasures and often referred to as a gravel rider’s paradise.

Welcome to our Gastronomic Gravel Adventure, set in the countryside off the Mediterranean coastline, famous for its natural beauty, that offers unrivalled off-road experiences and stunning scenery. We will visit vineyards, olive oil farms, anchovy factories and food markets to hear from the producers and learn about the region's gastronomy - all while riding along carefully chosen gravel paths.

Our riding days will take us to unique locations exploring our daily gastronomic itinerary. Afternoons we will spent back at the Masia, learning about cooking techniques and classic dishes from the Mediterranean. Our chef and cookery teacher, will take us on a culinary journey covering Spain, Italy, Greece, France and the Middle East.

We will be staying on the Torre Ronsat estate, a spectacular Catalan masia - modernista tower guesthouse, set in twenty acres of olive groves and landscaped gardens. Surrounded by Gavarres hills with views of the Pyrènèes and Medes islands pointing out of the Mediterranean sea.

We would like to invite you to this journey with our good friends at Mediterranean Food Journeys. They offer gastronomic retreats that blend relaxation with cooking classes and food experiences. Guests will be looked after by our chef and cooking instructor, Stephen Wilson, and his wife, Suki, a highly skilled sommelier who will be curating our wine selections throughout the week.

This is the perfect trip for people that love food and cycling in equal measure, or for couples where one prefers the world of wheels, and the other, the world of flavour. Our itinerary caters to both interests, with a non-riding option available upon request.
