William was a great host, very knowledgeable about wine, the area and all the vineyards and winemakers. He was really helpful with the electric bikes that he provided and made sure we were safe on the roads. The lunch he provided was delicious and it was great being out in the fresh air and meeting another couple on the tour - good chat! We highly recommend this wine tour.
Such a fun day! We really enjoyed the tour, lunch and wine tastings! Would recommend for sure!
Beautifully perfect day. I love all the knowledge about the area from the olive trees to the vineyard crews. Lunch was fresh and paired perfectly with the wines we had learned about. The olive oils were the best I've tasted. It may have been the environment. 🫒 We bike regularly. We could have done it without the ebike, but it was nice to relax and focus on the countryside.
Beautiful location that is comfortably explored on the e-bikes. Our guide William was very well versed on the area, the vineyards/their history and the wine they produce. Bikes were in tip-top shape and safe; in fact, the whole ride felt safe even as we were in more trafficked areas. Picnic lunch was delish. Would definitely recommend.
Our wine bike tour was absolutely amazing. William, our guide was very knowledgeable and really knew his wine. We learned so much from him and he was so attentive and kind throughout the entire tour. We even hit a spot of bad weather along the way which was starting to get too cold for us and he was so kind enough to take us back to the shuttle and drive us around for the rest of the tour. It was amazing and I would absolutely do it again.
William is an excellent guide!! The bikes are easy to ride. You could have as much or as little challenge as desired. The views and wine were wonderful.
What a fun way to see this beautiful area!! William is so knowledgeable about the area with all the history and the wines. Our family of 8 loved everything about this event from start to finish! Highly recommend!!
Had such a great time on this bike tour. It's the perfect way to see this beautiful area. William is very knowledgeable not only about the towns we pass through but also about wine. The lunch and wine tastings were fantastic. We even joined a wine club! Definitely recommend!
Surpassed all expectations and my expectations were pretty high. So fun, so beautiful, delicious lunch and wines, plus olive oil tasting, miniature horses, windmills, gorgeous views, a stop for treats and more. Three of the four of us had never been on e-bikes before but it felt safe AND adventurous. William was a lovely guide. Worth the $$!!!
Great experience! William was a fantastic guide; very knowledgeable about all things wine making and the valley. The e-bikes were so fun. Highly recommend!
