Sip n Cycle - Bike & Wine Tour in Prince Edward County

6 ladies on a wine/bike tour. This is a must. We did a self guided tour and had so much fun. Matt had our trip mapped out with our itinerary. Matt was great to deal with. The bikes we comfortable, trails easy to ride on. The winery’s and cider house we visited were great. This is a must for everyone to experience.

Fantastic experience - highly recommend this over a driven tour for the full experience. Jim was a fantastic operator. He was well versed in local wineries, funny engaged and very kind. He helped us through some unfortunate rain as well as someone in our party not able to finish the tour. He stayed back and made arrangements for the last leg for this member. Extremely charismatic and I would ask for him specifically. The wineries they take you too are also a great mix of some of the best in the area and some of the up and coming ones. They even take you to local attractions like lavender farms and alpaca farms. The bike tour is comfortable and things are well catered for. Novel experience that was definitely worth. The 18 km are easy on relatively flat land but I would be smart about it if you have older folks in your party.

I did a weekend trip to PEC to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday and we absolutely loved our experience with County Wine Tours! Henry was a great tour guide and each winery we visited (4 total, plus a lavender farm and an alpaca farm) has something different to offer. Highly recommend.

What a fun activity! We visited 4 wineries for tastings as well as a stop at a brewery (Trail estate, Blossom chase, Broken stone, Garage time brewery, and Karlo estates). Sharon was such a nice guide - very funny and knowledgeable. We rode about 18km and it was an easy and fun ride. Would definitely do this again! We also visited an alpaca farm.

we were finally just 2 pers (couple) for doing this tour, good for us!! a private tour with lory an amazing guide !! and they accepted to change the plan of the day, instead of doing 4 wineries we asked for doing 2 wineries + 1 brewery + cidery, because we wnated to taste all the goods of the county, we also went to see the alpacas and the lavender field, the fun with the bicycle tour is you go where the cars cannot go = you see what the others dont :field of agriculture like corn, wheat, beans, wineries hidden, apple threes, sunflowers etc, you also see savage flowers, nature like the forest and the swamps with their special plants and ducks. Be aware that the tour is about 20km of bicycle, 95% the trails were flat but its still a big ride and you will discover muscles you didn't even know you have, i found the 5 last km was really hard to accomplish my legs were really tired and had muscles pain, by the way i'm not use to do bicycle and i dont consider myself as in shapped person. ++ you can rent a electric bicycle if you want to. depending of your tour you will have to bring your lunch or you will eat somewhere during the tour. Bring water, they furnish 1 or 2 bottles but its not enough trust me, you will be thursty with this tour ( win + beer + cider + full sun + exercises of 20km of bicycle) during the tour you can put the bottle of wine in your front basquet but i think you can put max 2 bottles + your personal stuff, trust me its better to bring a backpack in case, because you will want to buy everything every where because its amazing and artisanal stuff (wine, lavender, cider, alpaca stuff) its a really big tour 11h to 17h30-18h, you will be tired after, so i recommend to not do anything special before and after except for eating and relax. we had a fantastic day with the head full of memories, and a bag full of wine+ cider+ beer+ lavender, we strongly recommend this tour if you like to take your time, breathing the good air, enjoy the sun, enjoy the nature and the local agricultur, see things hidden from the main road, just ride with a vintage bicycle and enjoy life

Would highly recommend The County Wine Tours if you are planning a trip to Prince Edward County anytime soon. Henry and Wayne guided 7 of us through the picturesque Prince Edward County wine country on our Girl’s Weekend Away this past Saturday. We rode to 4 lovely wineries, a small craft brewery and an Alpaca farm! The bike ride was easier than I anticipated, even for someone like me who has not been on a bike for many, many years. The bikes are easy to use and are very comfortable! A special thank you to you Wayne for hanging with me at the back of the pack while I got my biking abilities going again. Henry provided wonderful historical points of interests along the way and each stop we made we had lots of time for sampling and lots of giggles. Thank you again Henry and Wayne for a super fun day!

We had a fantastic sip and cycle tour with Wayne as our guide! The bikes were comfortable, and there are different size options. Helmets, a bottle of water, and snacks (goldfish, cheezies, and a cliff bar) are provided but there is no larger meal provided, so we definitely recommend eating beforehand and bringing more food if necessary. The bikes all had front baskets to help carry extras. Some of the wineries offered food, but they visit different wineries and some of the others may not offer food. Our group was small - only the 4 of us plus 3 from another group who rescheduled to our day due to bad weather on their original date. We loved talking to Wayne, who provided information about the area and wineries. He was a lot of fun and a great guide who waited for others who were falling behind, ensuring no one got lost even if they were slower. We visited 4 wineries (Trail Estates, Lacey’s, Broken Stone, Karlo’s) which each provided 3-4 tastings. Tasting fees are included, and generally pours were 1-2 ounces. There was the option to purchase glasses and bottles at every location. The wines were fantastic, catering to a broad range of tastes. All had plenty of seating. We also visited Chetwyn’s Alpaca farm where you can see cute alpacas, but not interact with them more closely. Our group cycled fairly quickly and had time to visit Garage Time Brewing for a quick flight while waiting for the others to catch up and go to the last winery. All in all, it was 19.3 km of cycling at a relatively easy pace, split up from 11 am-5:30 pm. There’s one steeper uphill segment but it’s short. The only thing we found confusing is that they now operate under Sandbanks Vacations, who repeatedly say on instagram and on their website that pick up and drop off are included in all their tours. This is inaccurate, as the sip and cycle specifically does NOT have this option. We had emailed to try and arrange it and got suggestions for taxis instead, which are not super reliable in the area, so one of us did DD. Overall, fantastic experience and we would definitely do it again the next time we are in PEC!!

Had a great experience with The County Wine Tours. Super fun, exciting and informative. Henry was great and very knowledgeable! Visited 4 wineries and an alpaca farm (my favourite). Provided light snacks and water. Highly recommend and would do again!
