Questions about your winery bike ride

Routes & riding

Not in our area. The routes around the Gimblett Gravels and Bridge Pa Triangle Wine Districts are flat, and wineries are 5–15 minutes apart on easy trails. If you can ride a standard bike, you'll have no trouble, and you set your own pace. E-bikes are available if you'd rather arrive at each cellar door grinning than gasping.

Wineries & tastings

Usually three or four without feeling rushed. Allow about an hour at each, plus lunch. The earlier you start, the more you can fit in before 5pm.

Wine collection

That's not something we do. Your wine waits for you at our base, so it goes home in your car or taxi when you leave. If you would like it sent further, please arrange with the winery you are at to send it by courier to your home.

No. It's included free with every bike hire.

Not at all. Plenty of riders come for the ride, the tastings and the lunch, and go home with nothing but a good story.

3pm. Buy before then and leave your wine at the cellar door, and we’ll collect it from the winery.

It rides back with you in your basket. By then you're on the home stretch.

All your purchases can be collected from our base, 2543 State Highway 50, Roys Hill, Hastings, between 4pm and 5pm, when you return your bikes.
