Steady rider, no climbing pressure

The Empordà has been making wine since the Greeks landed at Empúries, and its back roads are almost empty on a weekday. This is a ride built around lunch rather than watts: gentle terrain, two of the prettiest villages in Catalonia, a family cellar with five wines to try, and a van that quietly carries the bottles home.

Ride highlights

  • Vineyard roads of the DO Empordà with the tramuntana at your back
  • Stone villages of Peratallada and Monells
  • Guided tasting of five wines at a family cellar
  • Long Catalan lunch under the vines
  • Van transfer home for anyone who enjoys the tasting too much

How the day unfolds

  1. Out through the rice fields

    Flat farm roads east of Girona to warm the legs and set the pace.

  2. Peratallada coffee

    Coffee in one of the best-preserved medieval villages in Catalonia.

  3. Winery arrival

    Bikes racked, hands washed, and a walk through the vines with the winemaker.

  4. Tasting and lunch

    Five wines, local cheese, cured meats and a rice dish that will slow the afternoon considerably.

  5. Ride or ride back

    A gentle 30 km return to Girona, or a seat in the van — no judgement either way.

Good to know

How much do we actually drink?
Five tasting pours across a two-hour lunch, with water and plenty of food. The van is there if you would rather not ride afterwards.
Can I buy wine on the tour?
Yes, and we deliver it to your hotel the same evening so nothing has to go in a jersey pocket.
Is there a non-drinking price?
Yes — €99 with the same lunch and a grape-juice flight instead.
