Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a group booking different from a regular booking?
Groups are considered 12 or more people. There are some wineries that do not accept groups over 12 people. For smaller parties, please check our regular winery tours.
Can you cater for corporate winery tours?
Yes! We regularly host corporate groups, business functions, and staff team building events. We can suggest routes, winery lunch stops, and timings to suit your company’s needs.
Do you offer e-bikes for large groups?
We have a limited number of e-bikes, so cannot offer one for everyone. But we have a large fleet of standard bikes of various sizes, and even three tandems available so everyone in your group can find a comfortable ride.
Can there be a lunch stop on the tour?
Yes, a few of the wineries offer lunch options for groups. We can recommend venues such as Ash Ridge or Abbey Estate for a longer lunch stop.
How many wineries will we visit?
Most groups can visit between 3–4 wineries depending on your chosen start time. Allow at least an hour stop at each winery – the larger the group, the longer the time. This also goes for travelling between wineries as some people may not be fast.
How long does a group wine tour take?
Most groups spend 4–6 hours cycling and tasting, depending on your chosen start time. All tours must finish by 5pm when bikes are returned.
