for the food and hospitality sector
Bike to Care
Our mission
In 2022, Maison Louis Jadot and its Burgundy friends are launching Bike to Care, a unique sporting and charitable event.
Their ambition: to bring together sport, solidarity and a passion for wine, while responding to a major challenge: to support hospitality professionals who have been severely affected by the pandemic.
From the first edition in Burgundy, international teams are cycling through the vineyards to raise funds for associations in the food and hospitality sectors that help people in difficulty, encourage new vocations and support the training of future talent.
For the second Bike to Care edition in Bordeaux in 2023, three Bordeaux estates – Haut-Bailly, Giscours and Lynch-Bages – are enthusiastically taking up the torch of organisation.
Alternating each year between Burgundy and Bordeaux, Bike to Care is now a not-to-be-missed annual event, having raised almost a million euros in three years for essential causes and uniting enthusiasts around shared values.
Bike to Care
A collective and solidarity-based challenge
The teams, each made up of 8 to 10 participants, come from all over the world to take up this unique challenge. Each team must raise funds and select a charity to receive the donations collected, supporting local or international causes linked to the food and hospitality sector.
The challenge’s participants include chefs, sommeliers, importers and winemakers from Burgundy and Bordeaux.
Sharing a common passion for cycling and the culinary world, these professionals are joining forces to take up a collective challenge in the service of an essential cause, where the objective for each rider is not to finish first, but to contribute to this charitable commitment.
The funds raised by all the teams will be donated entirely to associations committed to supporting young talent, whether restaurateurs or sommeliers, to help them train and build a promising future in the hospitality industry.

Bordeaux 2025 edition
From 15 to 17 June 2025, Bike To Care returns to Bordeaux for its 4th edition,
with a 200km circuit through the Médoc, the Graves and the Bordeaux Right Bank.
Selected associations
Each edition involves international teams, each responsible for raising a minimum of €20,000 through their networks or dedicated events. The teams then select the charities to benefit from their donations, all of which are involved in initiatives that are essential to the catering and hospitality sector.
Since 2022, Bike to Care has raised significant funds for organisations in these sectors that are dedicated to supporting people in difficulty, promoting new vocations or nurturing the talents of tomorrow.
Teams and associations are still being formed for the 2025 event.
Belgique - Streetsmart
The Belgian team has chosen to support Streetsmart, which supplies local food banks and raises over £1 million a year for charity.
Etats-Unis - Sommelier Scholarship Fund
The US team has chosen to support the Sommelier Scholarship Fund, which offers trips, training opportunities and sponsorship to future sommeliers and wine professionals.
Royaume-Uni - Hospitality Action
Importer Hatch Mansfield has chosen the charity Hospitality Action. The charity was established in 1837 and offers support to anyone who works or has worked in the hospitality industry in the UK.
