Excellent ride and picnic. It was just the two of us but we got the attention made for a large group. We had an excellent ride up the KVR with a beautiful picnic lunch supplied. Tamara and Darcy were our guide and support vehicle and did a great job. Wine tasting is always good.

I had an excellent experience with Epic Cycling. The bikes are top quality, well maintained, and a pleasure to ride. What really stood out was the staff — they were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions and make sure I found exactly what I needed. The combination of great bikes and outstanding customer service made the entire experience enjoyable and stress free. I would highly recommend Epic Cycling to anyone looking for a new bike, accessories, or expert advice. I'll definitely be back!

What an awesome day! Such easy pick up and drop off. These pedal assist bikes lasted us an entire day along the KVR trail. We stopped at wineries on the way back. So much fun. Can’t wait to hop on and explore again.

Epic ride with epic cycling Rode a 70 km ride in May with Epic cycling. My ride leader was great. At the end of the ride I was starting to get a bit tired and the leader made sure to ride with me and encouraged me until I got my second wind. The owners Darcy and Tamara were very attentive to us all and were there to guide and support us the whole ride. Ride was beautiful terrain with some challenging hills included. Great choice of two wineries and cidery. Totally recommend this. It won't disappoint!

Bridging the Gap Epic Cycling managed to bridge the gap between 2 very different activities, cycling and touring wineries. They did it with skill and panache and kept it fun, informative and stress free for everyone.

An Epic Tour! Tamara organized an amazing tour for us six women! We biked, hiked and drank incredible wine. Tamara had organized everything down to the smallest detail including biking two days and hiking one, five vineyard visits with wine tastings, three vineyard lunches (delicious catering at each), hotel, airport pick up and drop off and wonderful restaurant bookings. Our guides Anne and Rob took great care of us and Tamara met us at several destinations along the way to deliver food and carry wine that we'd purchased. They were very professional and lots of fun. I would definitely book with Tamara and Darcy again!

E-biking the Kettle Valley Railway trail. My wife and I rented e-bikes from Darwin at Epic Cycling’s pop-up location on Lakeshore Drive in Penticton for a day in early June. The weather was pleasant with a cool wind off the lake, perfect for cycling the KVR. We had pretty much a perfect day. The bikes performed flawlessly and once we got the hang of the gearing we made good speed up the KVR past Little Tunnel to the parking lot at Glenfir where we turned around and headed back to Penticton, stopping for refreshment at the Abandoned Rail Pub, just off the trail close to Penticton. Next time we’ll leave at 9:00 AM, pack a lunch and see if we can get to the Adra Tunnel above Naramata. We made it back with over 50% charge left for 5.5 hours so we could have gone a lot further. Highly recommended.

Rivals the best of Europe We have enjoyed many cycling based trips to France and Italy and were looking for an adventure closer to home. Epic Cycling offered an enticing mix of cycling, local food and B.C. wines so we thought it might be worth a chance. We were simply blown away - from the expert guiding to the beautiful venues. This trip was on par with the most luxurious European tours. Darcy and Tamara have cultivated relationships with local food and wine producers that ensure you will enjoy a unique culinary experience. We highly recommend Epic Cycling.

Mother’s Day Weekend Tour Wow. Epic cycling tours can be described in just that one word! I’m not an “avid” cyclist by any means but joined a group of people and didn’t feel left behind or disregarded. The ride is so well organized and coordinated that they have different group leaders for each skill level. Needless to say, don’t let the intensity of distance detour you. I did a 70km ride in my runners! If you’re in the area, enjoy bike riding, wine tasting, laughing and a beautiful scenic view - do not miss the opportunity to take this experience!! Friendly smiling faces host you the entire time and have all the appropriate gear, drink, snacks should you need anything! Definitely will be back! Thank you guys for such an awesome time!

Totally recommend Rylan and Epic bikes. We booked a four hour rental and had a beautifully scenic ride along the KVR and even stopped at a winery for lunch. The scenery is spectacular and highly highly recommend this as an activity to do while you’re here. I had never ridden an e-bike before but it was a very easy learning curve and Rylan gave great instructions to get out of town and onto the trail and stops along the way.

Weekend Cycling trip This is my second time riding with Epic. i was able to get a group of my friends who are avid cylists to join me. It was so much fun riding with the ride leader and my friends. We went to Wild Goose, Noble and Church States wineries. it did not feel like biking at all but a lot of wine tasting and eating. we rode from Osoyoos to Wild Goose Winery and back and it was about 95km. Tamara was top notch and her attending to detail was outstanding. She even supplied me with Tylenol when she found out that i had back problem. Thanks again for making the tour extra special for me and my friends.

The best experience in Penticton Darcy and Tamara gave us the best experience of our trip. The group had varied levels of cycling ability from beginner to advanced yet we all had a ton of fun and a great ride. Awesome food and great wine tastings we wouldn’t have known about make this tour a cut above and it’s so well organized from start to finish. The thought, knowledge of the area and friendly attitude Epic Cycling brings to each ride makes for an unbeatable day in beautiful Penticton. We’ll definitely be back.

Above and Beyond with Customer Service. My husband and I along with my son and his gf recently rented e bikes to do the Kettle Valley Trail in Penticton. The rental process was efficient and well organized. I ended up having an issue with my bike about 20 minutes into the trip (100% my fault!) and I was beyond pleased at how well it was dealt with. I was able to get a new cycle in a reasonable amount of time to allow my husband and I to continue our journey to Little Tunnel and enjoy the days plans. I will continue to recommend Epic Cyling to anyone interested in bike rentals in the Okanagan. They truly care about the customer experience…HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Epic! My wife saw her sister’s post on their family Kettle Vally Railway cycle tour with Epic. As we are avid cyclists we checked if there were more sporting tours and indeed Epic offered a 100km wine tour ride. Communication was excellent from the time of booking. We met our hosts, Darcy and Tamara, and ride guide Ann and they were wonderful. The ride was fully supported with snacks, water and support vehicle at several stops. Three wonderful wineries were visited with a delicious lunch included at the third. We had to buy some of the wine which was conveniently transported in our support vehicle. It was truly a luxury level of support. The vistas were gorgeous with lakes and wine country back roads. Highly recommended!

Best way to see the vineyards What an amazing trip with Darcy and Tamara and the best way to see the vineyards. We had a great ride and a tonne of fun with the crew. We met near town and were straight onto the Kettle Valley Trail. We rode up to Arawana - gentle 2% grade uphill to the lookout and then it was down hill to the first vineyard for tastings and an amazing curated lunch put on by Tamara. These guys have got it dialed in. We ride on bikes and they have a support truck that meets you along the way with water and anything we needed. Any wine purchases go in the back of the truck so you're free to peddle and enjoy the incredible views. They select the vineyards for each trip so you're always going to get something different and very fun. They also know the operators so you get looked after well at the vineyards. Darcy was a great lead and made sure everyone was okay on the ride. It's an easy ride for pretty much anyone and they'll pace the ride to the group. When some of the group has ebikes the rest of us worked a bit harder ;) Thoroughly recommended and the highlight of the vacation.

Epic Cycling Wine Tour In early May I had the opportunity to experience my first group ride while wine touring the beautiful Penticton/Okanagan Falls area. It was amazing! We stayed in the beautiful Casa Colina B&B in Kaleden, hosts Brenda and Rick were wonderful. Amazing breakfasts, tranquil setting, everything needed for a weekend away! The ride was guided by several great ride leaders, ensuring everyone arrived safely to each venue. We headed out mid-morning on what turned out to be the perfectly sunny day First stop was Howling Moon Cidery, Oliver - might have bought a few bottles. :-) Our next stop was Covert Farms, where we enjoyed 5 wine samples and an amazing organic charcuterie board. Last stop was Wild Goose Winery - more samples and gourmet pizza baked on the BBQ. All cider & wine purchased was transported back via the support vehicle. I'm a recreational rider who is comfortable rode riding, but do not know the Okanagan area. Epic Cycling provided great ride leaders that ensured all riders rode at a comfortable pace while staying safe. Tamara & Darcy also provided everything you could need for mechanical support, first aid, cold water bottles, energy food - as well as transporting the very important wine purchases! :-) If you love to bike, want to meet great people, and need a weekend out of the city - Epic Cycling is a must!

Epic Cycling Tour We have been on a lot of bike tours and even run a few ourselves. Epic did a great job, the wine and cider stops were excellent, the food and wine were awesome. The ride was good, challenging, but not too challenging...although there was one hill that some will definitely have a problem with, a few walked up it..but it was relatively short. They have found some really good vendors to stop at, we know the Okanagan very well and these were stops that all will really enjoy. Overall, it is a ride that will appeal to a wide cross section of riders...but make sure you let them know what kind of rider you are, so that you get the ride that suits your ability.

FAQ

Bike Tours

A guided ride with experienced leaders, food and wine samplings, a support vehicle with water and snacks, and an Epic Cycling water bottle. Bike rental with a proper fitting is available, or bring your own bike; your own saddle and pedals are welcome, and we provide a helmet if you need one.

We have a minimum of 4 guests per ride and we can accommodate any number over that. Larger groups can customize date, route, ride duration, level and wineries.

Wineries change depending on the ride route, date and weather. We arrange everything in advance and email you the full itinerary of time, meeting place, wineries and ride route once you book.

No. Tours cover 30 to 50 km over about five hours at a relaxed pace with tasting stops, and the support vehicle is always close. Choose an e-bike if you have not ridden in a while; the climb onto the Naramata Bench disappears.

More than 90 days before your ride: 100 percent of your deposit refunded, or credited to a future tour. 61 to 90 days: 75 percent refund, or a 90 percent credit. 31 to 60 days: 50 percent refund, or a 65 percent credit. 30 days or less: no refund, with a 25 percent credit toward a future tour. Credits must be used within one calendar year of the original departure date. Private tours carry a $25 rebooking charge, and a missed pick-up is not refunded.

Gratuities are not included in our rides but are graciously accepted by our guides directly. Gratuities in Canada are typically 10 to 20 percent based on your level of satisfaction.

Once you sign up for a tour, we send a detailed list of suggested items. Cycling shoes, shorts and gloves make the day more comfortable, and a helmet is mandatory; we have one for you if you do not.

Call or use the contact form to arrange your date; we take a deposit (50%) to hold it and the balance before the ride. All prices are in Canadian dollars and we accept all major credit cards.

Your non-riding partner can join in the fun by meeting us at the vineyard during the ride.

Yes! The wineries we visit have many fine wines that are available for purchase. These wines can be transported back to the starting point in the support vehicle for your convenience.

Let us know in advance. Due to the nature of the tours, not all dietary requirements can be allowed for at all stops, but we will do our best.
