About this tour
Ride a Solex, the iconic French motorised bike of the 1960s, through the Vaucluse countryside near Beaumes-de-Venise. This three-hour tour putters you past Muscat vineyards and between the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux at a leisurely 25 kph, giving genuine time to absorb the Provençal landscape. Stop to hear local stories, then finish with a cellar wine tasting in the village.
Highlights
- Pilot a vintage 60s Solex through rural Provençal lanes
- Cruise past Muscat vines in their home region
- Views of Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux
- Guided commentary on area history and vineyard culture
- Tastings at a local village cellar
What to expect
You'll meet your guide in Beaumes-de-Venise, get fitted with a helmet, gloves and hairnet, then mount your Solex for a gently paced exploration of backroads. The moped's modest speed—never exceeding 25 kph—means you're actually present in the landscape rather than rushing through it. Expect a handful of stops for views and local context. The route winds through working vineyards and past stone villages. You'll finish at a cellar where several regional wines await tasting (payable on arrival).
