The Experience
Before You Go
Helmet and brief check
Even though helmets are provided, adjust it and test brakes before you set off to ensure a safe tour.
Hydrate and snack
Bring a reusable water bottle and a light snack; the tasting doesn’t replace steady fuel for the ride.
Dress in wind layers
Plateau winds can be sharp; a lightweight windbreaker makes vineyard stops more comfortable.
Stay on designated paths
Respect private vines and avoid trampling fresh shoots — local growers depend on careful visitors.
