Guided Electric Mountain Bike Tours and Tasting in Pic Saint Loup

You will walk on forest tracks or traverse peaceful roads most of the time "embedded" in a wooded scrubland in the heart of the emblematic vineyards of the Pic Saint Loup appellation. Many typically Mediterranean species accompany you, cade junipers, pubescent oaks, Aleppo pines. Crossing Lauret, Valflaunès, Fontanès will imbue you with the history of these authentic places. Discreet Romanesque churches, dry stone walls and superb views of the Pic Saint Loup and Le Causse de L’Hortus give this landscape a strong identity mark. Lionel, a certified bike guide-instructor, will guide you in a friendly atmosphere while ensuring your safety and comfort. You will enter a surprisingly preserved area. Depending on the course, your tasting (1 hour) will take place in one of our partner estates. You will appreciate the care taken by sensitive, epicurean winegrowers to obtain quality organic wines, respectful of nature.

You cross Valflaunès, a very small village, the center of which sits at the top of a small hill. Its large houses of light stones, its pretty Romanesque church, caressed by the sun seem to flow peaceful days under the protection of two limestone giants: Pic Saint-Loup and Mont Hortus. Saint Peter's Church dates from the 11th and 12th centuries, the porch and the arcade bell tower are more recent (the bell tower having been destroyed by lightning in 2004 was rebuilt identically. It is open during services and festivities. from the village.

We will take the direction of Fontanès from where we can observe the silhouettes of the Pic Saint Loup and the Hortus, on the east side. But it is in the middle of the vines that we will stop at the Notre-Dame d'Aleyrac chapel, so photogenic!

You will discover the Château de Cazeneuve, an old building from the 9th century which forms the heart of a wine estate. It is an area with a long winemaking tradition. Having belonged to several owners over the last century, the estate had fallen into disrepair. Today firmly anchored in an organic winegrower approach, it is part of the logic of the Pic Saint Loup appellation.
