Food Bike Tours on the Costa Brava: 4 Bike routes to Taste the Empordà

There are many ways to get to know the Empordà, but few are as complete as cycling and eating your way through it. Between Pals, the medieval villages and the Baix Empordà plains, you’ll find wineries, mills and local producers who tell the story of this land better than any guidebook.

That’s why we’ve put together four food and wine bike tours that combine quiet country trails with stops to taste what’s made here. They all start from our shop in Pals and are suitable for all levels.

1. Among the Vineyards: Local Wine Tasting

A ride along rural trails and vineyards to a local winery, where you’ll learn how wine is made in the Empordà and enjoy a tasting with local produce. It’s our longest experience, around six hours, designed to be enjoyed at an easy pace.

2. Rice Fields and Rice Mill

Cycle through the rice fields of Pals, following irrigation channels and completely flat farm tracks. The route ends with a guided visit to a traditional rice mill and a tasting of craft beer brewed with rice. A half-day tour, perfect for families.

3. Empordà Olive Oil

Ride among olive groves and farmhouses to visit an olive oil mill and meet the producers behind it. Includes an olive oil tasting and a traditional Empordà breakfast. A half-day experience that works best early in the morning.

4. The Cider Route

A gentle ride through the rural Empordà with a local cider tasting and a traditional lunch made with local produce. Around six hours in total, with plenty of time to ride, taste and linger over lunch.

Why Go by E-bike?

On an e-bike, the distance between stops feels short and you don’t need to be a regular cyclist. You’ll arrive at every tasting ready to enjoy it, not exhausted, and you can extend the ride if the day invites you to. Not sure which bike suits you? Check our guide to choosing the right bike.

How to Book Your Tour

Every experience includes bike rental, a helmet and a GPS track so you can explore independently. If you’d rather have company, we can add a local guide. Coming as a group or with your company? We’ll adapt the route and the stops to your plans.
