Overview

Surrounded by majestic mountain views in lush foothills not far from Athens, Tennessee, Tsali Notch Vineyard will serve as the scenic starting point for a leisurely loop ride through spectacular countryside. The fully supported and guided bike ride will be followed by a wine- or juice-tasting. You may even be able to pick muscadines!

Riders can expect rolling rural roads with little traffic, spectacular scenery, and Southern hospitality--both from your guide and from local farmers likely to wave as you pass by. Come spend the day in the country with us!

The basic route is about 19 miles. Riders can also choose additional distance options.

Highlights

  • Majestic views of the Cherokee National Forest and the Great Smoky Mountains
  • Largest muscadine vineyard in Tennessee with U-pick season in full swing through early October
  • Wine tasting in a rustic yet refined event space
  • Trolley tour of the vineyard
  • Artisanal products from muscadine grapes available for purchase

Difficulty

Recreational

Level 2 of 4

The region is called "Overhill" for a reason--and we'll be cycling over numerous hills. But few are long and fewer are steep. Anyone who bikes regularly should be quite comfortable-even more so on an e-bike. The support van will never be far away. The surface is entirely asphalt.
