Imagine cycling through sun-kissed vineyards, grapevines heavy with promise, the air carrying faint aromas of fermenting grapes. In harvest season, French Bike Tours invites you to a "Sip & Spin" journey through Burgundy, Alsace, Bordeaux, Champagne, or the Loire—where each pedal stroke brings you closer to terroir and culture.
Burgundy: Traverse Côte de Beaune and historic Grands Crus villages intertwined with medieval Beaune. Tour wine cellars, taste in authentic "caves" and linger in hillside hamlets.
Alsace: Follow the Route des Vins between Strasbourg and Colmar. Vine-draped slopes, timbered villages like Riquewihr, and Gewürztraminer tastings await.
Champagne: Pedal through Montagne de Reims, tour historic Champagne houses in Reims and Epernay, and enjoy forest-and-vineyard loops near Verzenay.
Loire Valley: Cycle past iconic châteaux around Chitenay or Saumur. With sparkling Sancerre to sweet Coteaux du Layon, wine is part of the trail.
In September and October, vineyards buzz with harvest activity. Stay synced with the harvest, hear the stories, savor fresh grape-juice tastings, and maybe even pitch in a hand or two .
Choose e‑bikes for additional ease. Routes stay moderate in distance, with options to linger over wine, food, and scenic charm. We handle cozy overnight stays near the vineyards and luggage transfers for pure cycling enjoyment.
Combining cycling with enological immersion, this tour is sensory storytelling—heritage, landscape, flavours and slow travel in perfect harmony .
