Bordeaux Winetrail Cycling Holidays

Our Bordeaux Winetrail Cycling Holiday is a fantastic exploration of the wines from the most famous vineyard region in the world.

We start in Les Eyzies and spend Sunday cycling along the Dordogne to the edge of the Bordeaux vineyards.  From Monday we're in wine country.  We'll explore little-known islands of quality, such as Pécharment near Bergerac, as well as famous vineyards in St Emilion and the Haut Médoc.  A feature of this cycling tour are the exquisite dessert wines that we'll taste in Monbazillac and Haut Montravel, and we finish up exploring the médoc on the borders of the Atlantic.

Along the way, of course, back roads, vineyards, great food, and truly spectacular views across the Gironde.

We have just returned from a brilliant holiday in the Dordogne with the Chain Gang. I just wanted to drop you an email to let you know what a fabulous time we had and how great Pete was to have alongside us. He is the perfect combination of mechanic, butler and court jester. You can tell him that!

I have no doubt that we will join a tour next summer too. Possibly in Provence next time.

Finally, I wondered if you could tell us what bikes we were riding? We have decided to buy ones as similar as possible as they were so good

 Great week in the Dordogne, great bikes. Lyndsay Parker, UK
