2026 edition concluded (27 September 2026).<\/strong> This year\u2019s Prosecco Cycling took place as scheduled in Valdobbiadene. The dates for the next edition have not yet been officially announced: we will update this page as soon as the organization makes them known. In the meantime, The Court of Marga<\/a> It remains the ideal base for a trip to the UNESCO Prosecco Hills in any season.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Every last Sunday of September, the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene \u2014 a UNESCO World Heritage Site \u2014 fill with bicycles. It is the Prosecco Cycling<\/strong>, one of Italy's most beloved cycling granfondos, and returns in 2026 Sunday 27 September<\/strong> with start and finish in Piazza G. Marconi in Valdobbiadene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are among the cyclists already marking the date on your calendar \u2014 or if you are coming from out of town and wondering where to stay for the weekend \u2014 La Corte di Marga is at about a 15-minute drive (10-12 km)<\/strong> from the finish line, in the heart of the very same territory you will cycle through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Prosecco Cycling 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, Prosecco Cycling has transformed: from a \u201ctime-trial\u201d granfondo into a true food, wine and cycle-tourism experience. The most curious rule, introduced with the 2025 edition and confirmed for 2026, makes it clear: those who complete the route in less than 3 hours and 10 minutes does not make the leaderboard<\/strong>. A way, say the organisers, to invite everyone to lift their heads from the handlebars and enjoy the scenery, not just the stopwatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route remains the classic one: 100 km and 1,510 metres of elevation gain<\/strong>, a continuous up-and-down among vineyards, historic villages and views over the hills of the UNESCO World Heritage site, passing through 14 municipalities of the Denomination. Those who nevertheless want a bit of healthy competition will find three timed climbs<\/strong> \u2014 Via Busi, Ca\u2019 del Poggio and Collalto \u2014 which determine the individual and team standings. The rest of the route is designed to be experienced at a leisurely pace, even in a group or in company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is also open to those who do not usually compete (a competitive medical certificate for cycling is still required) and easily accommodates e-bike<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gourmet stops along the route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The distinguishing feature of Prosecco Cycling is the \u201cGrand Tour Gourmet\u201d: along the route there are true food and wine stops, not the usual energy gels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
