Description
Experience the ultimate bike wine tour in Queenstown on the self-guided Valley of the Vines Bike Tour with Going Blue. Embark on a scenic bike ride through beautiful landscapes and rolling vineyards in the world-renowned Gibbston wine region, where you can go wine tasting to your heart's content!
This tour includes complimentary transfers from Queenstown to Arrowtown in the morning (where your bike ride begins), as well as return transfers from Gibbston to Queenstown at the end of the tour. Before starting your bike ride, you will be kitted out with your choice of a Giant Talon E+ bike or Talon pedal bike, as well as a helmet, custom map and a safety briefing from the friendly guides at Going Blue Queenstown.
After taking a shuttle from Queenstown to Arrowtown in the morning, pedal your way along the Twin Rivers Trail towards Gibbston Valley, a scenic bike ride of approximately 2 hours. On the way, marvel at the views as you cycle across several spectacular suspension bridges, including the famous Kawarau Bungy Bridge - the birthplace of bungy jumping in New Zealand! Upon reaching Gibbston Valley, you will have plenty of time to explore the valley by bike, visiting the wineries at your own pace.
There are a number of wineries to choose from, including Gibbston Valley, Chard Farm, Peregrine, Mt Rosa, Waitiri Creek/Cargo Brewery, Peregrine, Gibbston Tavern, Gibbston Valley Cheese experience and many more.
At the end of the day, your friendly Going Blue driver will pick you up and drive you back to Queenstown. Pick ups start from 4pm onwards (arriving back to Queenstown between 5 - 5:30pm).
