France: The Burgundy Wine Region & Dijon
In Burgundy, France bike routes traverse some of the world’s most famous vineyards. Spinning from Lyon to Dijon—two UNESCO-designated urban showpieces—you’ll cycle mellow hills bursting with grapes cultivated for the region’s celebrated wines. Pause at charming stone towns imbued with wine and gastronomic tradition. Explore the 15th-century Hospices de Beaune, a masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic art and architecture and Burgundy’s most visited site. In Dijon museums, browse fine arts and sacred artifacts. Follow bike paths along canals and into wine villages with thriving local markets. The bucolic scenery here has made this route a favorite among travelers for its lush, unspoiled countryside.

The Burgundy Wine Route trip was an exceptional vacation...it was a great mix of activity, leisure, learning and sightseeing. The trip leaders were personable, knowledgeable, and fun-loving, our fellow travelers were all interesting and friendly people, and the food, accommodations, and scenery were all first class. The daily route length choices ensured that everyone would be happy with their activity level, too. I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves good food, wine, and outdoor activity. The pre and post trip extensions are also well worth it...especially the pre-trip in Lyon...there was so much to explore there!
