About this tour
Cycle through Provence's vine-covered slopes around Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail, starting from Vaison-la-Romaine. This eight-hour outing pairs pedalling with tastings at working domains like Champ Long and Talès, where vintners walk you through their cellars and glasses. Routes suit both seasoned riders and those finding their rhythm on two wheels, with e-bikes levelling the terrain.
Highlights
- E-bike loops around Mont Ventoux and Dentelles ridges
- Guided tastings at two working Provençal domains
- Routes calibrated for mixed fitness and experience levels
- Vaison-la-Romaine departure point with transit access
- Vineyard landscapes framed by limestone peaks
- Chat directly with winemakers about local production
What to expect
You'll start on an e-bike, which takes the sting out of Provence's rolling climbs. The route winds through vineyards and garrigue scrub, with views opening toward craggy Mont Ventoux. After riding, you'll pull into a domain where someone behind the bottle talks you through their reds, whites, or rosés—tasting straight from the source rather than a tour group hall. Expect 20–30 kilometres depending on your chosen path, with stops built in. The pace is yours; e-assist means you won't arrive knackered.
Good to know
Book ahead for group tastings. Bring water and sunscreen; Provence sun is relentless. Public transport links exist if you'd rather not cycle to the start. Not suitable if pregnant or with cardiovascular concerns. Infant seats available on request.
