Spend eight days pedaling through quaint villages on Ciclismo Classico’s Olive Harvest Tour. The Arlington-based tour company offers trips to the Molise region departing Oct. 18. Learn about the production of olive oil, then meet a member of the Colavita family, who will give you a tour of an olive-crushing mill and offer samples of freshly pressed oil from the new harvest. On foot, you can search for truffles in Isernia, explore ancient theater ruins and a bell foundry in Pietrabbondante, and tour a pasta factory in Trivento. The trip ends with a visit to one of Molise’s finest wineries, a tour along the Adriatic coast, and a chance to see Rome for a day. Rates are $3,695 per person, based on double occupancy. 800-866-7314,www.ciclismoclassico.com
