  • A Premium Culinary and Cycling Journey through Burgundy's Heart

    Get ready for a taste of France! Fine wines, delicious food, and a slow, immersive ride on an electric bike!

    On this fantastic bike tour – whether you are guided or doing your own thing – all that is Burgundy unfolds... rolling hills draped in vineyards, picturesque valleys, and canals so serene they practically whisper, "Slow down." And on your electric bike, you can take your time and linger as long as you like at each stop. For the adventurous cyclists who thrive on challenges and consider hills their friends, there's always the option to rent a standard touring bike.

    This is the heart of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay country, the soul of Burgundy. Each sip of these elegant wines captures the essence of centuries-old winemaking traditions.

    And, oh, the cycling! You bike on the iconic "Route des Grands Crus" which translates to the "Route of the Great Wines", passing through small but prestigious vineyards and well-known wine towns, such as Pommard, Volnay, Meursault, and Chassagne-Montrachet. You also pedal the serene towpaths of the Canal du Centre and Burgundy Canal.

    The experience of premium cycling during the day, superb evening cuisine, and the savor of fine wine is blended perfectly and topped off with overnight stays in upscale accommodations, completing your "savoir vivre" experience.
