Randonnées à vélo dans et autour de Chinon, dans la vallée de la Loire
Description
Je suis autrefois du Devon au Royaume-Uni mais je vis maintenant à Chinon. J'ai toujours fait du vélo et j'ai adoré mon vélo, et pendant la plus grande partie de ma vie d'adulte, j'ai toujours aimé le vin... c'est moi ! Avec ma famille, je me retrouve maintenant à vivre au milieu des vignes, avec des producteurs de vin créant quelque chose de très spécial à notre porte. Le vin de Chinon est reconnu comme étant très spécial à travers la France, mais dans le reste du monde, il est moins connu et nous tenons à faire connaître le vin local à travers des visites de vignobles ! Nous avons passé des années et des années en vacances en France avant de déménager ici, sans jamais trouver le courage de franchir les grandes portes de grange d'un producteur de vin, mais maintenant que nous avons commencé, nous ne pouvons plus nous arrêter ! Ce type de visite est si important pour de nombreux producteurs indépendants, et nous avons maintenant à cœur de partager cette expérience avec vous. Nos balades à vélo dans le vignoble sont avant tout conçues pour être ludiques, pour que vous, votre famille et vos amis profitiez au maximum de votre séjour dans le Chinonais.

Our bike tour and winery visits with Quintin made for a perfect day in Chinon. The bikes offered a fun and easy way to navigate this beautiful town. Prior to our visit, Quintin communicated frequently, thoughtfully, and clearly via text. Upon arrival, he met us with a warm and friendly welcome; offered some basic bike instructions (helpful for the two non-bikers in our group); and reviewed how our ride would unfold. Very knowledgeable about the area, its rich history, and the winemaking, Quintin was an entertaining and interesting guide. He came prepared with a tasty lunch that took into consideration dietary requests. We visited two organic wineries, enjoying warm welcomes, full tours, wonderful tastings, and water refills (it was a hot day) at both. Quintin captured fun photos of our group in action, which was very thoughtful. We highly recommend this tour.
Amazing experience, Quintin was a great quide who knows the area and made the day interesting and relaxing for us. Definitely a must do in Chinon!
Quintin was wonderful. He lives in the area, is very familiar with the local winemakers, and he personalizes the tour to each group. We had some non-bikers in our bunch, and the riding was easy, the views were spectacular, the wine and lunch were delicious, the conversation excellent… I loved every moment of the trip! If you’re looking at this tour, take it. Would highly recommend to everyone!
Awww- thanks all! Lovely to have met you and thanks again for coming along

Many thanks for coming along- great to meet you and hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday
We loved Quintin and we loved this tour! Quintin was extremely kind, had a great sense of humor, and was passionate about the city of Chinon and the people, wine, and culture there! Riding bikes through the countryside, its vineyards and beauty, and drinking wine and hearing more about how it is grown and produced, was a magical way to spend a day in Chinon! We highly recommend this tour!
Awww… thanks guys. Was great getting to meet you too- enjoy the rest of your time in the region and best of luck with all your forthcoming adventures!
Neil made this tour an amazing experience. We visited 3 wineries, tasted about 20 wines and learned a lot about wine making as well as the history of the region. Biking through the beautiful French countryside is an experience in itself. Highly recommend this tour.
My friends and I had a fantastic time biking through gorgeous scenery, learning about the local wines and enjoying a delicious picnic lunch. The knowledgeable and friendly guide expertly tailored the experience to our desires. I would highly recommend this tour!
We had an absolutely fantastic tour today! Quentin was great about responding to messages and getting us scheduled for a tour, and was very accommodating of the individual needs of our group. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, very fun, and put a lot of effort into showing us a great time. The tour was well organized and included a very scenic bike route, a substantial and tasty picnic (including wine!) , and a tasting experience that we would never have been able to get on our own. We got to visit some very diverse vineyards and learn a lot about the local varieties. We definitely appreciated the small group size and the attention given to making sure we all had an enjoyable experience and walked away very happy! We definitely got our money's worth and would book again, 100%. If you're travelling through the Chinon area, drop Quentin a message and get yourself set up for a great day!
I’m so pleased you all had such a great time. It was an absolute pleasure to welcome you to Chinon. Merci Beaucoup
Pedagogy and advice. We rented bikes in impeccable condition or even new!! Very attractive prices. Great listening from the head of the shop to advise with passion. All bikes can be rented which suits me perfectly to make an electric bike purchase that I will definitely come back to vichy at cycles et cie!! Very important choice of models and brands assembled in France!! This adds to the choice of this shop!! The address to be sure to find them!! 44 rue de Paris not far from the train station and two minutes from the center.
