Quad hike Dordogne vineyards: 3h30 forest & wildlife trail

Ride small paths through Dordogne forest and vineyards at your own pace

A 3.5-hour quad activity in the Dordogne vineyards near Bergerac where you ride forest paths and vineyard trails, with a guide who adjusts speed and technical sections to match your fitness. The material is new. Helmets and gloves are provided. Children from age 6 can ride as passengers, and you'll likely spot deer along the way.

The experience

The ride covers small paths that wind through forest and vineyard terrain around Bergerac. Your guide speaks English, Italian or French and adapts the trail difficulty as you go. If the terrain gets technical or steep, they'll find an easier line, and if you want to push harder, there's room for that too. Deer are common on these routes, so staying alert adds another layer to the three-and-a-half hours outdoors.

You'll wear a helmet and gloves throughout. The quad itself is new, and the guide handles any setup or adjustment needed before you start. Children as young as six can join as passengers, though only riders aged 18 and older with a valid driving license can operate the vehicle. If you have a spinal condition, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns, this activity isn't suitable. Otherwise, fitness level doesn't matter because the guide adjusts the pace to keep everyone comfortable.

What’s included
