On this Ride to the Vines tour, you will cycle on a powerful e-bike that gives you an opportunity to ride faster and further. Thanks to the help of the bike, you will be able to spend most of your energy spotting interesting places and enjoying the local scenery along the way.
First, you will visit the historic gold mining village of Arrowtown, and ride along the Arrow and Kawarau rivers. Crossing suspension bridges you will also visit the oldest bungy jumping bridge. Then the Gibbston Valley will welcome you with views of extensive vineyards as far as the eye can see.
At a winery, you will learn about the secrets of vine growing. A personalised wine tasting with your knowledgeable guide will make your trip exclusive and memorable. The final stop is at a local farm café, where you can have lunch and soak up the relaxed atmosphere of the valley. You will then be transferred from the café back to town.
Thank you Mike and Evelyn! Will see you next time on our Ride to the Sky tour:)
Our family were looking for a balance of adventure and relaxation and we certainly found it with the Ride to the Vines guided tour. Our hosts were extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. Both of them went out of there way to ensure we had a fantastic day. We loved this trip and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to spend a day seeing the sights of Arrowtown and the Gibbston Valley.
Thank you Cameron, I had a great day and it was lovely to meet you all. Enjoy your summer and will see you on our other tours! Ksena
