Bike The Wineries (1/2 Day) - Quick Pedal to Pinot
About This Experience
Kick off an unforgettable half-day adventure with a shuttle from Queenstown to Arrow Junction (7 km past Arrowtown). There, you'll be fitted with a bike and briefed for your afternoon of exploration. The ride begins with a scenic 6km (4 miles) stretch along the Arrow and Kawarau river gorges, crossing the Edgar Swing Bridge and passing the iconic Kawarau Bungy Jump Bridge. From there, continue into the Gibbston Wine Region, cycling a total of around 17 km (11 miles) of undulating gravel trail. Choose from 6+ wineries, a gin tasting spot, or a tavern, typically enjoying 3 stops, sometimes 4, along the ride. Enjoy tastings knowing our shuttle bus will collect you at the confirmed time, directly from your chosen winery. Perfect for visitors short on time, this ride combines spectacular scenery, a little exercise, and some of the region’s finest food and drinks — a true Queenstown escape!
