E‑Bike Vineyard Tour in the Alpilles from Saint‑Rémy‑de‑Provence
Ride through the low limestone ridges of the Alpilles on an e‑bike, ending with a guided tasting at a small Provençal vineyard. Expect quiet lanes, short climbs and the mineral wines of Grenache and Syrah.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate between tastings
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters of water and sip regularly—alcohol and sun add up on a long ride.
Use the e‑bike assist wisely
Conserve battery on flats and use boost on steeper pitches to maintain range for the full 5–8 hour route.
Respect private vineyards
Stay on designated lanes and follow your guide’s advice when approaching vines or cellar yards.
Bring sun protection
A brimmed cap under your helmet, sunscreen and sunglasses will make midday riding far more comfortable.

Stick to roads and marked tracks; many estates practice sustainable viticulture—ask about organic or low‑intervention wines and pack out any waste.
The Alpilles have been farmed since Roman times; dry‑stone terraces and small domaines reflect centuries of viticulture and olive cultivation.
