From Bocairent towards Fontanars dels Alforins, the neighbouring village, you go from the mountains to the vineyards. Diània Experiències suggests crossing it by e-bike, at your own pace, with a tasting at the end and no need to pedal back: from the winery they take you back to Bocairent by car. In total it is about five hours, of which two to three are on the bike.
Tarmac or track
The route is self-guided: they give you the bike, the route and the panniers, and you set the pace. You choose between two routes:
- On tarmac, moderate level: 30 km with 500 metres of climbing and as much descent.
- On a mountain track, hard: 35 km and 570 metres.
The website does not name the winery for the tasting: ask when you book.
What it costs and what it does not
The price drops with group size: €90 per person for a couple, €82.50 for four, €78.30 for six, €72.40 for eight and €67 for ten. It includes the e-bike, helmet, tasting and the transfer back. Lunch and a water bottle are paid separately. It runs at weekends.
Pedalling and tasting
The fact that the return is by car is no small detail: after a tasting you do not get on a bike. Even so, have someone who has not been drinking drive the car home, or stay overnight in Bocairent. Bring water for the route, because there is little shade among the vines, and layers of clothing. If you are interested in the local wine, in Moixent, about 48 minutes by car, there is the visit to Celler del Roure, at weekends.
Tips
- The first time, on tarmac The track route is hard and takes your attention away from the scenery.
- Add lunch It is an extra worth asking for when you book if you want to prolong the afternoon at the winery.
- Do not combine it with the Covetes on the same day Between the route, the tasting and the return, a long half-day goes.
