For those who enjoy
the finer things in life – fine wine, great cuisine, scenic splendor, historic
riches and the exhilaration of bicycling – this vacation has it all.
You’ll roll through some of the world’s most prestigious
vineyards, learn about wine production from an expert and enjoy a tasting. But
you’ll find that there’s even more to this region than world-class wines, as
you ride through quiet villages and past impressive châteaux, explore the
underground monuments of medieval St. Emilion, enjoy a home-hosted lunch and
browse one of the 100 most beautiful markets in France. Join us on a journey that blends mind, body
and spirit in true VBT style!
