Dijon or BeauneCôte de BeauneMinivan if it rainsMax 8 guests
The day to book if you would rather ride between the vineyards than watch them from a window. A minivan takes you from Saint-Bénigne to Meursault, and you spend two hours on an e-bike among the white-wine villages. Lunch of charcuterie and cheese and a seven-wine tasting at a family winery are in the fare.

Travellers praise the guides and the easy ride on new bikes.
Two hours on an e-bike through the Côte de Beaune
From Dijon a minivan takes you south to Meursault, where your bike is waiting. The listing gives the van leg as 30 minutes; one traveller from Dijon found the drive closer to an hour. The e-bike does the climbing, so you need to be a safe, independent rider rather than a fit one. For two hours you follow bike paths between the vines and through the villages, stopping when your guide has something to show you.
If you still have energy, an optional hour takes you toward Montrachet, the vineyard behind the Côte de Beaune's most famous white wines. You ride past the plots whose names you will see on the wine list at dinner. Still choosing between Dijon Wine reservation? Every Dijon fare sits side by side, with what each one pours.
Lunch in the fare: charcuterie and cheese
After the ride comes lunch, and it is paid for: platters of local charcuterie and cheese, over an hour and a half. The listing pairs it with a comparative tasting workshop, so expect your guide to talk you through what is on the plate as well as in the glass. Other drinks are extra.
Seven wines, and a family winery to finish
A ten-minute drive after lunch brings you to a family-run winery for an hour and seven wines, the entry fee paid. Then the minivan takes you back to Dijon for about 4:30 pm, or to Beaune for 3:45 pm. This is the Côte de Beaune, the white end of the Côte d'Or, so expect Chardonnay to lead. If you prefer red wine and the Grand Cru villages nearer Dijon, the e-bike day on the Côte de Nuits rides from rue Monge instead.

Who this suits: confident riders who want lunch in the fare

You prefer red wine: the Côte de Nuits e-bike day costs $579. You want a short ride in town: the city ride to Lac Kir takes two and a half hours for $63. Every bike day is on dijon bike wine tour.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be fit?
No, but you must ride safely and on your own. The e-bike helps on the slopes, and the organiser can refuse anyone who cannot ride. It is not suitable for back problems, low fitness or pregnancy.
What happens if it rains?
The day may run by minivan instead, decided at the last minute. One traveller's day was rained off the bikes and still rated the tastings highly.
Is lunch included?
Yes. Charcuterie and cheese platters are in the fare; other drinks are extra.
I cannot ride a bike. Is there a similar day?
Yes. The same operator's lunch day by minivan visits Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault with lunch in the fare. For a day with no bikes and no lunch, the day on both côtes leaves Place Darcy at 9 am.
