The ferried current of the St. Lawrence skirts the island as you set off — wind teasing the river into silver. On Île d’Orléans a local guide leads a small group along roughly 14 km of quiet country roads, the kind of ride where vineyards and farms lean close enough to smell. Electric assist keeps the pace easy, leaving riders to scan low stone walls, roadside berry stands and the occasional panoramic drop toward Quebec City.

Arrive early for the briefing
Plan to arrive 30 minutes before departure to get fitted for your e-bike and complete the safety briefing and test ride.
Expect road shoulders, not bike lanes
There is no continuous bike path on the island — ride on paved shoulders and stay single file when traffic approaches.
Pack a small daypack
Bring water, a camera, and a light windbreaker — tastings are frequent but space is limited while riding between stops.
Watch for farm traffic
Tractors and farm vehicles use the same roads; be prepared to slow and give wide clearance, especially near farms.
Helmet
Provided by the operator but bring your own if you prefer a personal fit and comfort.
Windbreaker or light rain shell
