Frequently Asked Questions

Is It Suitable for Families With Young Children?

Nah, this tour ain’t really made for the little ones. Riding an e-bike and tasting wine while the kids are runnin’ around? Not the safest or most fun idea. Might be best to leave the kiddos at home for this one.

Can I Bring My Own Bike Instead of an Electric Bike?

Sorry, buddy, but bringing your own bike’s a no-go on this tour. The whole point is to cruise around on those fancy e-bikes! Trust me, you’ll have way more fun without lugging your own wheels. Just sit back and let the guide do the work.

Do the Wineries Offer Non-Alcoholic Tasting Options?

Nah, these wineries are all about the booze, mate. They ain’t got time for no sissy non-alcoholic stuff. If you’re after something sans alcohol, best bring your own juice box and sip it on the side.

Is the Tour Available in Other Languages Besides English?

The tour is only offered in English, mon ami. But don’t worry – even if you don’t speak the language, you’ll still have a grape time sipping that vino and taking in the French countryside on two wheels. Oui oui, c’est magnifique!

Can I Request a Vegetarian/Vegan Picnic Lunch Option?

Absolutely! You can totally snag a veggie-friendly picnic spread. Just let the tour folks know when you book, and they’ll whip up a delicious plant-based feast that’ll have your taste buds doing a happy dance.
