A morning wind tugs at the sleeves of your cycling jacket as you push off from a limestone lane, vineyards on either side leaning like quiet hosts. The route climbs gentle ridges above the Saint-Georges appellation, then drops toward the honey-colored stones of medieval Saint-Émilion, where narrow streets and a Romanesque bell tower come into view.

Pace the tastings

Protects your head on mixed-surface lanes—confirm if the operator supplies one.
