Enjoy an active winery tour on our full day self guided Bike The Wineries ride - explore the wine region of Gibbston at your leisure!
Your journey will begin with a scenic scheduled bus transfer to the quaint village of Arrowtown which is steeped in rich gold-mining history.
Our local, knowledgeable team will fit you to your bikes and provide an entertainment and detailed briefing of your adventure ahead. Enjoy a coffee at one of the many cafes or get straight on your bike and get ready to take to the picturesque Arrow River Trail. You'll see the mighty Kawarau River and cross over the historic suspension bridge - now home to the Bungy, on the original Miners Trail.
From here you can ride the scenic Gibbston River Trail and visit the many award-winning wineries, a cheese deli, gin room and tavern that are linked through this easy riding trail. All trails are purpose-built, easy to moderate grade and off-road, with only direct road crossing between wineries.
Relax knowing that you only have to bike in one direction (no biking back to Arrowtown in a head wind!) and the scheduled bus service will collect you at the time given in the briefing, then taking you back to Queenstown.
Wineries en route are:
• Gibbston Valley Winery
• Gibbston Cheesery / Deli
• GT Tasting Room
• Gibbston Tavern
• Rockburn
• Kinross
• Mt Rosa Winery
• Brennan Wines

Thanks for the review Laura, love the photos!
Everything was perfect! Such a good experience! Can 100p recommend that!
My husband and I have done many wine tours (bus/ car/ limo). Doing it by e-bike was way more exciting. Thanks so much!
We changed to the half day experience and it was fantastic. We started at the farm instead of Arrowtown and rode all up about 2 & 1/2 hours which was enough for me! We made the Gibbston Tavern our last stop and they picked us up from there. It was spectacular scenery during the ride, the bikes were great and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great service from the team. Trail was amazing and wineries were lovely. The views from the trail are not to be missed. Get an e-bike you won’t be sorry.

Eine wunderbare Biketour
Mit einem E-Bike ist es eine entspannte Fahrradtour entlang der Berge und des Flusses. Eine wunderbare Tagestour abseits vom Queenstown-Trubel.
