Bergerac Electric Scooter Tour: Vineyards & Gourmet Tasting

Ride through vineyards and forests, then taste what the region makes best

An off-road electric scooter activity in the Bergerac region that takes you through Monbazillac vineyards, past châteaux and into Périgord forests on accessible paths. The three-hour ride includes a gourmet tasting break with artisanal foie gras, goose and duck rillettes, and a shared bottle of Monbazillac wine (or organic grape juice for younger riders). You'll start from Ribagnac, ride with a live guide in your choice of language, and wear supplied helmet and gloves. Minimum age is 14. Closed shoes are required.

The experience

You've got an afternoon free in the Dordogne and want to move through the landscape instead of sitting in it. An electric scooter handles the terrain (vineyards, forest tracks, country roads) without the noise or the effort of a pedal bike. The machine is quiet enough that you hear the birds and the wind, and simple enough that you're steering within minutes. The paths stay easy and the pace lets you take in the châteaux, the vines and the open views across Périgord without rushing through them.

Three hours means you cover real ground: the route passes through the heart of Monbazillac's wine country, crosses into working forests and stops at a point where the landscape opens up. Halfway through, you dismount for a tasting break built around what this corner of France is known for: foie gras made by hand, rillettes of goose and duck, and a bottle of Monbazillac to share among the group (organic grape juice goes to anyone under drinking age). The food and wine are not an afterthought. They're the reason the stop exists.

A live guide leads the ride in English, Spanish, Italian or French, depending on which option you book. The scooter comes with helmet and gloves. You bring closed shoes and a moderate level of fitness. Teenagers often pick this as their favorite activity on a family holiday, partly because they're steering their own machine and partly because the tasting break treats them like adults.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French and Italian.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the minimum age to ride the electric scooter?

Riders must be at least 14 years old. Younger children can come along in a pram or stroller if an adult is supervising them.

What happens if I've never ridden an electric scooter before?

The scooter is designed to be easy to handle and the paths are accessible to all levels. You'll have time to get comfortable with the controls before the ride starts, and the guide leads at a pace that keeps everyone together.

Does the tasting include wine for everyone?

A bottle of Monbazillac is shared among the group. Riders under drinking age receive organic grape juice instead, so everyone gets something to taste with the foie gras and rillettes.

What should I wear and bring?

Closed shoes are mandatory. The scooter comes with a helmet and gloves. Dress for the weather (you'll be outdoors for three hours), and bring water if you prefer your own.
