Biking TripsThe Open Road
On a bike your world opens up around you, the sights, sounds and scents between villages and vineyards become delightful tangibles, no longer simply the stuff of dreams. With us, you always go at your own pace. You don’t feel any pressure to stick with the peloton because, well, there is no peloton. You go as fast or as slowly as the spirit moves you.
We’ve always been partial to the bike. Our story is rooted in the journey a bike inspires; and it’s how we found ourselves moving back in 1966, arriving to luxe hotels by day and tucking into incredible, celebratory meals by night. A lot has changed since then, but the original guiding principle of the bike—as an immersive way to understand a region with minimal impact—still tosses our hair back.
Today, with full van support and the option to select an e-bike in almost all regions we visit, your journey is entirely stress-free. Whether you take it up or down a notch, we've found that the open road will always reward you.
New 2020 E-Bikes
Who couldn’t use a little back up now and then? For our European trips, it comes in the form of lightweight, premium-crafted Moustache e-bikes. You pedal them just like regular bikes, and simply opt for a boost when the mood strikes.
Classic Burgundy
Bike to the top of the Hautes-Cotes, sip vintages in the fields where they grew, spend the night at Abbaye de la Bussiere and explore the unhurried pleasures of Beaune. There’s a reason this is our second home.
Understand the World by Bike
Biking is a great way to go. It’s how we started. The slower you go, the stronger the impressions. The further you go, the more you’ll experience. But sometimes stopping seals it all in.
Go Bespoke.
Return Bespeechless.
