Typical Day

When you embark on a DuVine Adventure, you won�t observe the European countryside through a window. You�ll become part of the delightful scenery up close and personal, cycling at your own pace. You�ll experience the most scenic routes through vineyards, and olive groves, past cypress trees, and field upon field of lavender, breathing it all in. Glide along country roads in France, Italy and Ireland where you�ll be free to roam and explore as a traveler, not a tourist.What makes DuVine unique is the personal touch that each customer experiences while on our trips. We provide creative attention to detail, boundless customer service, a free bike for the week, and the space for you to enjoy the spontaneity of a true adventure.
