Carbon Neutral Trip

In all our years, we've sampled few pairings finer than Bordeaux (the land of legendary wine and equally lauded biking), and the Dordogne (the verdant capital of foie gras). Explore the endless underground galleries of Rouffignac, discover 13,000-year-old art, and go on truly glorious rides into the heart of Saint-Émilion, and through the lush countryside of Dordogne.

Historic Sites
Dive deep into the history and pre-history of Bordeaux, where a chateau’s tapestries won't be the oldest art you see, and architecture is carved out of the rocky landscapes surrounding you.

Local Connections
Interact with and learn from proud farmers, chefs and winemakers, gaining access to private cellars and kitchens for immersive experiences.

Incredible Rides
Follow the Dordogne as it winds among vineyards, rugged hills and well-kept paths. The perfect backdrop for a week in the saddle.
