this is an interesting article about taking wine tours to the various wineries on a bicycle. I have heard of bicycle wine tours before so this article gives me more insight on how they work. I would imagine that one would still have to be sober enough to operate the bicycle after touring all of those wineries and tasting all of those wines. Maybe the excercise will work of some of the alchohol.
While some people prefer a guided bus tour of wineries, or even
hiking through the vineyards, most wineries are now offering
guided bike tours of their vineyards. What a wonderful way to
explore the vineyards! The following paragraphs will discuss
different options many wineries are now offering that are
associated with bicycle wine tours, as well as discuss how to
choose the right size bicycle to rent for your tour.
There are many different options available that are associated
with most vineyard tours on bicycles. One of the main options is
how many days you'd like to tour. Most often vineyards will
offer single day bike tours, Multi day tours, group bike tours.
There are normally options available to suit the desires of
anyone wanting to take a wine tour of a popular wine vineyard.
Single day bike tours are very popular for beginning bicyclists.
During single day wine tours by bicycle tend to be easy riding.
They are often very casual, and include lunch features such as a
wonderful picnic lunch, or lunch at the winery.
Multi day bicycle wine tours are often a little more complex.
These tours are several days ranging to up to a week. Some are
designed with a bike path from inn to inn, or from one side of
the vineyard to the other. These guided tours are most popular
among the more experienced bicyclist, as sometimes the bike path
can be rugged!
Group tours of wineries by bicycle are extremely popular among
families, co-workers, and groups of friends. Group tours are
often discounted, and can be fun for everyone who actively
participates. The cost of these tours often include lodging
expenses, as well as the cost of some meals. You should check
with the individual wineries before you make your purchase.
The best quality bicycle are offered by most vineyards for
rental to those who wish to participate in a bike tour of the
vineyard. This ensures the bicycle will be perfectly fit for the
type of tour you choose. Rates will vary from winery to winery,
so you should check the price list from several vineyards to get
an idea of what your bike rental will cost.
As for sizing, that can be tricky. There are some general
guidelines for each type of bicycle, but these can vary from
vineyard to vineyard. If you are in between sizes, there are
some tips you should remember. You should always choose the
smaller bike, as it will give you more stand-over clearance.
Also, you should try to remember that choosing the bigger bike
will give your upper body more room between the saddle and the
handlebars.
