What to expect?

The Valsamoggia area is one of the most authentic and surprising parts of the Bolognese Apennines, a land of gentle hills, small villages, scenic roads, and flavors deeply rooted in local tradition. This is where the Vespa finds its ideal dimension: a pleasant and distinctive way to cross the landscape, take in its atmosphere, and experience the area at a different pace.

Awaiting participants will be an expert truffle hunter, who will open the doors to the world of truffles by sharing curiosities, characteristics, and the secrets behind the search. It will not be just a story told along the way: participants will also have the chance to take part directly in the truffle hunt, enjoying an authentic experience deeply connected to the land.

To round off the day, there is the pleasure of the table: the tour ends with lunch at a typical local restaurant, where truffles take center stage in a dedicated menu designed to enhance their aromas and flavors through traditional dishes.

An experience that brings together the road, the landscape, and local flavors, offering a unique way to discover Valsamoggia by Vespa through one of its most precious treasures.

Most of vehicles we rent are vintage and manual with the clutch and have the rear brake pedal. Our vehicles use a mixture of petrol and oil from 2% to 3% depending on the model. For those with no experience in the scooter with gears, we have 125 Vespa, which are automatic, comfortable and easy to drive, using unleaded petrol.
It is required to be expert in driving the scooter. We do not rent them to those with little experience or to those who have never driven a scooter (manual or automatic). The day of the rental, if we discover the client is not able to drive, we will apply a 100% penalty.
