Vineyard Route (Chemin du Vignoble)

A sweet mix of quiet backroads and lanes weaving through vineyard country. This collection links wine towns, terraced slopes, and chill country roads where traffic stays light. Expect rolling terrain with a few punchy climbs and rewarding views over the vines. Most sections are paved, with short gravel or track bits here and there to connect the good stuff.

Ideal on a road bike with sturdy tires or an all-road/gravel setup. There’s climbing, but it’s broken up—great for steady spins with café or winery stops along the way. Spring to late autumn is prime, especially around harvest when the vineyards glow (just watch for farm vehicles).

Navigation is straightforward and often follows local wine-route signs, but a GPS track helps when the route ducks onto smaller lanes. Pack water, enjoy the viewpoints, and leave time to explore the villages. If you’re into vineyard vibes and quiet tarmac, this one delivers.
