The Experience
Before You Go
Charge and check the e‑bike battery
Confirm battery level before departure and carry the charger if you plan extra independent riding—hilly sections increase power draw.
Expect mixed surfaces
Bring tires or shoes suited to both paved cart roads and short dirt stretches; punctures are infrequent but possible.
Hydrate and time your tasting
Drink regularly during the ride; save the wine tasting until after cycling to enjoy responsibly and avoid dehydration.
Mind local traffic and farm vehicles
Ride single file on narrow country roads and follow the guide’s instructions when passing villages or tractor traffic.
