I had the time of my life in Bordeaux! I loved the guides. I love visiting the organic vineyard. I love sorting and picking and hanging out with the staff for lunch. I will never forget St. Emilion. With out question, that is my most favorite hotel with DuVine (one of the best anywhere). I could go on and on! Four months later, I still get excited thinking about both Burgundy and Bordeaux trips. Thank you for providing lifelong memories!

We had an incredible time!! The guides were outstanding, the meals and accommodations fantastic, and we loved all the activities!! We are back in Texas in 100+ degrees and all missing the wonderful weather and stunning landscapes of Switzerland! It was truly a extraordinary vacation!

We had a great time. The guides were terrific- planning and execution of the trip by both of them was flawless

I want to express my extreme satisfaction and gratitude for the Tuscany trip I just left, guided by the professional and able professionals.
I have taken many guided bike trips, and by far the most accommodating, informative and professional guides and itinerary that I have ever experienced were with DuVine. The guides' unique blend of knowledge of the local culture and language, their cycling expertise, and their extreme hospitality combine to provide a very rich and rewarding experience.

Unbelievable.....totally OVER THE TOP honeymoon experience. The perfect wedding followed by the perfect honeymoon....French Chateau estates for accommodations. Incredible hospitality. A blessed compliment to French hospitality with wonderfully cheerful English/French speaking guides at your beckon call every moment during our trip. Absolutely an unforgettable week. In all our travels, this one 'takes the cake.

Jen is very friendly, accommodating, down to earth, flexible, and great knowledge of local history.

We had a blast, DuVine was simply DuVine! The bikes were awesome, the guides were so accommodating and o la la the places we stayed were out of this world! I want to move to France!

I can't imagine a better way to see Provence; It's great to be physically active on vacation.

We had a fabulous ski trip.
Our first week in Megeve was fantastic, and then we met up with Greg and Jen for our second week in Villars and the experience continued.
Greg & Jen did a brilliant job organising the week for us from ski hire, fabulous skiing to wonderful dinners.
It was always a real treat coming out of the restaurant after lunch to see all our ski’s laid out on the snow ready to clip into.
We loved the fact that we were taken to a different resort each day. All up in our two weeks of skiing we skied in six different resorts.
We were fortunate enough to be in Villars to see the ski show. I believe it was only on about three times during the season.
We were invited into a house in Gryon built in 1735(?). It is hard to comprehend that Australia was not even discovered when this house was built.
Thanks for all your assistance with our travel arrangements, you will be happy to hear we had no problems catching the trains. The Swiss make it all so easy for the traveller.

Tom was just unbelievable and so knowledgeable. Tom also made my birthday celebration special every single night in song and dessert. Really just a great time had by all.

We had a wonderful time on our DuVine bicycle tour. Our guides were just unbelievable and so knowledgeable, The food and wine were more than we could have imagined. We are touting DuVine to everyone we know, thanks for a great trip.

DuVine, you have a very special gift - the way you embrace life and your desire to truly connect with people. Unique and extraordinary. I am glad you touched my life - I learned some things about myself last week on the Yoga-Bike trip.
Kathy Hendrickson, Denver, Co
There are so many 'WOW' moments: the hotels, the bike riding, the food, the fun[…] Make a day 36 hours so we can have more fun!
Kent & Linda Satterfield
I have traveled extensively in Italy, and speak Italian, and yet was surprised and delighted at every turn bicycling in Piedmont with DuVine. The local guides made it an authentic and intimate experience, where we ate fabulous meals at private estates that tourists would never find, feeling like close friends of the cooks. I learned an incredible amount about the exceptional Piedmont wine and cuisine--even learning to make some traditional dishes with Guido's mother!--and was glad to cycle enough hills to be hungry for another picnic on the terrace of a 16th century villa, overlooking rolling vineyards. The expert cyclist guides inspired me to go home and train for another trip. It was wonderful--and far exceeded my expectations. I can't say enough good things about Guido and Giovanni, as well as the hotels and meals, and was sorry to say good-bye to everyone.
Laura Fraser, San Francisco, CA
I run out of adjectives whenever I talk about the Piedmont trip. From start to finish it was thoroughly enjoyable. The guides really went the extra mile. The choice of restaurants, the menus, and the wine pairing were all fantastic. I felt that I really was getting an authentic and complete sampling of the regional cuisine.
Les Ryan, Calgary, AB
Our vacation expectations were high and they were far exceeded. An overwhelming week!
Martha and Michael Pratt -Skillman, NJ
If there is perfection, this trip is as near to it as I have ever experienced.Everything from lemon slices in my water bottle to an encouraging hand on my back, to climb the hill to Le Beaux. I have traveled extensively and even been on other bike tours and nothing compares to DuVine. I think what really made the difference was our guides David and Jenn. They were always pleasant, fun, doing all the extras beyond the call of duty. I just can't say enough about how wonderful they were. I never want to travel any other way... only DuVine. Thank you again for a" DuVine Vacation "

Bordeaux, another great biking trip with DuVine, we look forward to our 3rd trip with you.
Maurice and Heilan Renshaw - Sydney Australia
We had a great time. We miss gorgeous Switzerland and the daily fun and adventure of biking with DuVine! We miss the breathtaking views, the charming villages, the delightful lunches that appeared out of nowhere next to a beautiful mountain stream or in an Alpine field all magically and seamlessly set up. You provided more than just a bike trip. The guides extensive knowledge of Switzerland was evident with every question the group came up with, spanning politics, history and geography.
Melinda and Casey Clow, San Francisco, CA
My husband and I just returned from Mallorca with DuVine. Alex was a fantastic guide and we had the time of our lives! You all have a top notch adventure cycling outfit and we cannot wait to plan next years trip. Thought you should be made aware!
Missy and Tom Radcliffe, Ellicott City, MD
We just returned from our trip this Sunday and wanted to let you know that it was a trip of a lifetime. We enjoyed every minute of it and are missing our 8 wonderful days in the Tuscany area. The biking was really a lot of fun. While we were a bit nervous about some of the climbing, Carol and I both did really well, thanks to Giovanni and his wonderful persona as a guide and a representative of Duvine. He and David did a phenomenal job managing the trip including last minute changes to accommodate some rain. They complement each other well..David is the more organizational person, a bit formal and Giovanni a great kid! We have been to Italy before but I would recommend this as the way to really enjoy the countryside, the food, the wine and the people. You guys really know how to do it. We met some wonderful folks on this trip and know that we will be friends with some of them in the future.
Raju and Carol Mohan, Encinitas CA
We had the most amazing bike tour. The guides made the biking trip so much fun. Although the bike trip was incredibly organized, it seemed spontaneous and relaxed at the same time. I have been telling all my friends about the trip, and I am sure we will plan a group trip.
Reema Shroff & Naveen Kella - Austin, TX
Luxurious, decadent trip through the French countryside. DuVine made the trip feel like you were biking with friends, discovering new wines, foods, and the unique people who live in Burgundy.
Rick & Lauren Remes Andover, Ma.
We just returned late last night from our fabulous vacation. I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our DuVine Provence Adventure. We had the best time and it was such a wonderful way to vacation. We had never vacationed by way of bicycling and after this trip it seems like it is the only way! DuVine was first class all the way, from the effecient organizers of the trip (you), to the wonderful guides, David and Jen, to the amazing food and exquisite accomodations. The weather was perfect, sunny and hot,with a lovely breeze and the bicycles were terrific!
So thank you for making this holiday one of our very best. We look forward to more DuVine adventures!
Sharon and David Appotive, Ottawa, Canada
I want to say 'Merci, Merci, Merci' from both of us. The whole trip was wonderful, a grand adventure that exceeded our expectations. Everyday was so special for us and I didn't want it to end.
Sheldon & Esti Friedman
The guides are absolutely great and they have unlimited energy and are highly motivated to make sure each guest has the best time possible and will go beyond the call of duty 24 hours a day to make sure everyone is happy.
Sheldon & Esti Friedman, Toronto
The route, daily options, hotels, wineries and food were awesome. Each was different and unique. The guides exceeded our expectations, moreover, they were just tons of fun. They remembered our kids, interests and anticipated all of our needs. I can assure you that we will be back for another trip, please continue to be unique.
Steve & Alexandra Juriga
We both thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip! Andro is a natural and had so much information about everything – very impressive. He knew all the side roads, the history, the best of the best of local goods, had so many contacts, and is just a wonderful guide! I hope many more folks sign up for this tour in the future as he’s great!
He put together our DVD’s and we LOVE them. His new talent at photography helped capture moments we’d otherwise have missed – or didn’t have the extra hands to take on our own. Excellent memento of our week!
Thanks again for coordinating all the details: we loved it all!
Susanne Hilgefort - Greenwich, CT
We had a blast! Bordeaux was the best trip I have ever taken and from start to finish the DuVine experience was exactly that.... Divine! The guides were the most informed, interesting, supportive, passionate, and all around brilliant people and guides; Their knowledge and enthusiasm for wine and cycling was inspiring as well as instrumental in our adventure's success. We always considered ourselves self-educated wine enthusiasts but, on this trip we became Bordeaux experts. Thank you so much for a great trip

The trip was outstanding and it really exceeded our expectations!
