The concept Wine tourism & sustainable travel
 

A festival like no other

Born from an idea shared by friends and popularised on Instagram, the Vélo Vin Copains concept has already brought together thousands of cycling, wine and good-company enthusiasts. After several editions across France, the festival is coming to the Luberon vineyard.

Here, wine tourism is experienced differently: sustainable travel, encounters with winemakers, landscape discovery and time taken to enjoy the journey. The route focuses on a human and sensory experience with the people who bring the region to life.

By combining enjoyment, good company and respect for the environment, Cigales & Guidons promotes a more responsible and authentic way to discover the Luberon vineyards.

A collaborative event

The festival is organised by Vélo Vin Copains in partnership with Destination Luberon, Pays d’Apt Luberon, the AOC Ventoux and AOC Luberon wine associations, and Vélo Loisir Provence.
