Good bikes with some minor tune up needs, but a great route. We were lucky and had fantastic weather. Note that most of the wineries are closed on Mondays. We stopped at Hygge Cafe which has excellent lunch and tables inside and outside that face the sea with beautiful views.

Excellent bikes, clear maps with a straightforward route. Amazing views and the elevated cycleways were exceptionally good. 99% is off road and easy cycling. Wineries are welcoming and make perfect stops towards the end. Thank you it was a wonderful experience.

Excellent organisation. Bikes were ready for us first thing in the morning- even individually labelled with our names. Every detail had been thought about and planned- bags for bike, bike locks given linked to our phone number, excellent detailed information. Pickup at 1600 as planned.
A must do!

Great comfy bike and fab map to guide us to the wineries. Service was fab. We had a flat tire which was quickly rectified. Ran into a personal health issue and they quickly came the rescue in a different pick up location. Great day and amazing personal help.

We had an amazing day cycling out to the winerys from the shop, along the sea front and into the countryside. It was a beautiful day and the scent in the countryside was delicious as we cycled through orchards and vineyards. The bikes we great, the picnic we ordered at Askerne Winery to accompany our first wine flight of the day was fabulous as was the wine. Our pick up at 4pm was prompt and we had a lovely chat to Jan on the way home. We would definitely recommend this trip.
