Gravel and Wine
18-19-20 september
Gravelbikes and gravelrides are often associated with nice beers and tasty barbeque food. Indeed, this makes for a delightfull combination. However, we think that gravelbiking also goes well with a good glass of Riesling wine and local German cuisine. Come give it a try! Experience three days of awsome guided gravel routes through some of Germany’s and Luxemburg’s best and most beautiful wine regions. We’ve arranged 2 wine tasting evenings for you to fully experience the gastronomical exellence of this region. Well deserved after a hard day of cycling. Your ‘base camp’ will be Nittel, a charming wine village on the borders of the Mosel river. You will be staying in a cosy and luxurious hotel for some good night’s sleep and relaxation. Hitting the trails and plowing through gravelroutes among the vineyards can be very demanding, but we will make sure that no man is left behind. All routes are tailor made to meet your expectations and wishes. Come thrill and chill with us! We have a maximum of 10 spots availible, so don’t hesitate too long!
