WHAT TO BRING
- Wear clothing suitable for cycling – and no, Lycra is not required! However sturdy shoes and ¾ trousers or shorts are recommended to prevent toes and trousers getting caught in spokes
- There are baskets on the front of your bike, but we suggest that you bring a backpack to put any extra bits and pieces as cameras and a warm jersey in
- Water bottle
- Don’t forget the sunscreen!
OOH, YUMMY, A PICNIC. HOW DOES THAT WORK?
All groups receive a picnic. This will consist of freshly made local breads, cheeses, chutneys, cured meats and other seasonal goodies. Perfect for sharing at one of the many picnic spots along the way! If you have food allergies or special dietary requirements then please tell us when booking.
TASTING ETIQUETTE
The vineyards will walk you through the process of wine tasting in their own personable and friendly ways. Please remember that all vineyards are different and some may charge a tasting fee.
FITNESS LEVEL REQUIRED
Although the route is flat and most people only cycle a maximum of 8km, it does still require a degree of fitness. If you haven't been on a bike in a few years we suggest you go for a little spin beforehand to reacquaint yourself (and lessen the chances of you falling off in front of your friends!).
WINE COLLECTION
We recommend you bring a backpack to collect any wine you may buy on the way, but most vineyards will deliver locally if you buy a case or more. Otherwise you can ask the vineyards to set your wine aside for you to later in the day when you're coming past with the car.
