Adele • traveled in December, 2025
The organisation of this trip from start to finish has been brilliant. We loved that we did not have to organise anything and could simply enjoy the breathtaking scenery ! The wineries chosen were top notch … as were the breakfast venues. A special mention to Bernard who so generously shared his knowledge of the region when he met us on Day 1 and also at the end. We are looking forward to another cycle adventure.
