The backland of Calvi with its wineries

These two tours lead through various wineries in the area and the typical Corsican scrubland, the Macchia.

In the first tour you drive in the direction of Montemaggiore, but then turn right into the maquis after a detached property. You then cross the Route de Calenzana and after a few houses the first vineyards come into view.
If you stick to the GPX track, you have to turn right. It goes down through a property and on the other side is a fence that is sometimes open and sometimes closed. If necessary, lift your bike over it and say hello if you meet someone. There is also an alternative up the mountain, you come down there if you do the second tour.

Then follow the path to the road and drive in the direction of the airport. In front of the airport, you turn left and come through L’Enclos des Anges. You continue through the vineyards to above the Clos Landry. There you turn left again and come back to Calvi through fragrant immortelle fields.

Tour 2

The second tour starts with the road to the airport or alternatively through the L’Enclos des Anges, like the way back in tour one.
On the road to Moncale, turn left and drive up the hill. At the top you have a beautiful view of the area and the mountains in the background.

The route also crosses the Route de Calenzana but turns right towards Montemaggiore. When the road bends to the right, there is a white gate on the left that can be pushed open. Turn left here and please close the gate behind you.
After two more gates you come to the Clos Culombu. The winery has a very nice location and some paths that can be driven on. How long you stay here is of course up to you.

Before you meet Lumio Street, you can turn left in front of the cemetery. Thus, you avoid a piece of road that leads back to Calvi.
