“Amazing; Great locations, food, and awesome guides. We had an excellent time. Big group, but easily accommodated by Hop & Vine. The food was amazing, the weather was perfect, and it was really fun”

"We rented BMC gravel ebikes! The staff was super helpful, even though we were on a do-it-yourself trip rather than a guided tour. They set up the bikes carefully for us and shared lots of helpful advice. We were afraid to take a guided tour, because we are really casual cyclists and didn't think we could keep up with a larger group. But based on our interaction with the staff, we plan to try a guided tour next time!"
