The Experience
Before You Go
Charge & Check Your E-Bike
Confirm battery level before departure and carry any personal charging cable or case instructions; most climbs are short but require assistance if battery runs low.
Bring Extra Water
A 0.5L bottle is provided, but plan for at least 1–1.5L total during warm months to stay hydrated on exposed roads.
Wear Closed-Toe Shoes
Paths at the farms include compact dirt and uneven surfaces—sturdy footwear improves comfort during tastings and workshops.
Time Your Visit
Book mid-morning to enjoy cooler riding, fuller market stalls and active demonstrations at farms before afternoon closures.
