Dijon wine tours by bike swap the minivan seat for a saddle. Choose an e-bike day in the vines with lunch in the fare, or a city ride with a glass of Aligoté. You ride with a guide, and the cellars wait at the end of each stretch.

Two hours in the saddle from Meursault, an optional hour to Montrachet, a charcuterie and cheese lunch and seven wines.
Check availabilityIt is a guided ride instead of a minivan seat. On the e-bike days a vehicle takes you from Dijon to the vines. You ride between the villages with an electric assist, and taste at the cellars on the way. The city ride stays in town and ends with a glass by Lac Kir. Every Dijon Wine tour option is compared on the homepage too.
The e-bike days cost $250 for the Côte de Beaune and $579 for the Côte de Nuits, per person, with the bike, helmet, guide and lunch in the fare. The city ride costs $63 for two and a half hours.
From the saddle you see the walls, the stone gateways and the plots that give the wines their names. On the Côte de Nuits day you ride past the Clos de Vougeot to the Romanée-Conti vineyard. On the Côte de Beaune day you ride the vines around Meursault.
The Côte de Beaune day serves a charcuterie and cheese lunch; the Côte de Nuits day seats you in a traditional restaurant. On most minivan days, lunch is extra.
The city ride leaves 78 rue Monge at 2:30 pm and passes Les Halles, the Musée Rude and the Palais des Ducs. It ends at Lac Kir with a glass of Aligoté and a Burgundy sweet. Non-drinkers get a soft drink.
Eight riders at most on the e-bike days, twelve on the city ride, so the guide can wait for you on a slope.
The alternative is a shared minivan day from a Dijon kerb. Here is how the two compare.
| E-bike day | Minivan day | |
|---|---|---|
| Fare per person | $250 or $579 | $165 to $254 |
| Start | Saint-Bénigne at 9 am, or 78 rue Monge at 9:30 am | 16 Place Darcy or Saint-Bénigne, 9 or 9:45 am |
| Time in the vines | About 5 hours, 2 or more of them riding | 7 to 8 hours, mostly seated |
| Wines | 7, or at least 8 | 2 or 3 wineries' tastings |
| Lunch | In the fare | In the fare on some days, at your cost on others |
| Weather | Exposed; the Côte de Beaune day may switch to a minivan | Indoors between stops |
| Best for | Active adults on a dry day | Anyone, in any weather |
The e-bike day costs about the same as the dearest shared minivan day on the Côte de Beaune, and you spend it outside. If the forecast is wet or you are unsure on a bike, Burgundy wine tours from Dijon cover the same villages from a seat.
From 78 rue Monge at 9:30 am: Gevrey-Chambertin, the Clos de Vougeot, the Romanée-Conti vineyard and Nuits-Saint-Georges, with lunch.
