Pedal Ventures
Famed for its world-class wines, historic abbeys, and serene countryside, Burgundy is one of France’s most elegant cycling destinations. Ride through gentle vineyard landscapes, past stone villages and grand châteaux, and stop to taste some of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay along the way.
Cycle the Route des Grands Crus, a legendary trail through the vineyards of Beaune, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Gevrey-Chambertin. Discover small family domaines and historic wine estates at your own pace. From the medieval town of Dijon to the Romanesque abbey of Cluny, Burgundy is steeped in art, history, and architecture. Discover half-timbered houses, Renaissance palaces, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites as you ride. The terrain here is rolling rather than rugged, with well-maintained bike paths and scenic canal-side routes perfect for all levels. Quiet country lanes invite slow travel and frequent picnic stops.
The best cycling months are May to October, with warm days and cool evenings. Terrain is generally gentle to moderately hilly, with vineyard slopes and canal towpaths making up most of the routes.
Choose from self-guided or guided cycling holidays with options for wine-tasting stops, gourmet picnics, and visits to medieval towns. Itineraries typically include accommodation, daily luggage transfers, detailed maps, and e-bike options.
