The Wine Route by Bike: Which vineyard do you want to discover?

The question is answered! Several options are available to you :

• If you like half-timbered houses, pretzels, sauerkraut, and beer in addition to wine, opt for the Alsace Wine Route by electric bike.
• If you're more into white wines, Chardonnay grapes, peaceful canals, and thousand-year-old abbeys, then embark on the Burgundy Wine Route by Bike.
• If you prefer red wines with a little more body, old country houses, and canelés, head for the Bordeaux Wine Route by Bike.

If you're unsure, plan them one after the other!

Alsace wine route by bike

The Alsace Vineyard Cycle Route stretches from Marlenheim to Thann, passing through, among other places, Obernai, Sélestat, Colmar, Riquewihr, and Eguisheim. In addition to offering hillside vineyards and prestigious Grands Crus, these wine-growing villages are also among the most beautiful in France. Eguisheim was voted "France's Favorite Village" in 2013. It's a pleasure to linger in the charming squares, along the flower-filled canals, or on the terraces to taste a local vintage.

This picture is completed by an impeccable cycling network, allowing for a relaxed ride. As for the elevation gain, expect a few climbs (because of the hillsides!). Fortunately, we offer the Alsace Wine Route by electric bike.

Vineyards of Burgundy by Bike

When we mention Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gamay, and Aligoté, do you think of the Burgundy Wine Route by Bike? You're a connoisseur! Burgundy is renowned for producing world-renowned wines, both red and white. There are no fewer than 33 Grands Crus in the region, between the Côte de Beaune, Chablis, and Côte de Nuits.

If Burgundy is very strong in terms of vineyards, it is also very strong in terms of cycling! The region was a pioneer in this area, having offered a greenway between Givry and Cluny since 1997. Today, it's a delight to explore Burgundy by bike. It's easy to cycle along the Burgundy Canal, the Nivernais Canal, or at the foot of the hillside vineyards. It's thus easy to discover the incredible Burgundian heritage: Hospices de Beaune, Vézelay Basilica, Cluny Abbey, and more.

If you appreciate authentic villages, the Burgundy Wine Route by Bike is also for you: Irancy, Chablis, Beaune, and Vézelay offer a journey through time and remarkable old stone buildings. The France we love!

The Bordeaux Wine Route by Bike

Margaux, Saint-Émilion, Cadillac, Margaux, Pauillac, and Saint-Estèphe... all these great names are on the itinerary of our Bordeaux Wine Route by Bike tour! Departing from Bordeaux, take a beautiful bike path to the first vineyard to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
