  Wine Rides Ltd

  Mar 2013 - Oct 2018

  Co-founder

  I have had a lot of fun helping my husband Alex to make Wine Rides a reality. For years we’ve enjoyed touring Europe – packaging up our bikes and heading off to places like the Isle of Wight, Black Forest, France and Holland. My vision for Wine Rides is that you will experience the best that cycle touring has to offer – great scenery, comfortable rest stops and the company of others that share a passion for all the good things in life.As Head of Sustainable Business at leading sustainability charity Bioregional, it is my ambition that Wine Rides will have a positive effect on the environment. At the heart of everything we do is a desire to help people connect with the landscape and enjoy themselves without causing harm to their bodies or the environment.Having spent two summers running Wine Rides' first events I now work behind the scenes supporting Alex with finance, procurement and business planning. We are currently planning day rides and new locations for 2017. Show less
