most legendary wine regions. In Bor-

dine in the private wine cellar of a
grand cru producer, and get private
tastings at boutique pinot noir and
chardonnay producers. Along the

and work up an appetite as you pedal
through bucolic villages and 800-year-
old castle ruins. The price includes

a rental Cannondale, like a Synapse
Carbon Pro Disc or Neo e-bike.
