Bike The Wineries (Full-Day) - Bike & Wine Tour

Read the reviews and knew we needed to take note of signage. Spent 1hr in Arrowtown for breakfast at Provisions before heading off. Crossed the road too early after bunjy bridge and went off track. Realised and got back. Scenery is amazing and we loved the live music at Kinross. Finished with plenty of time at the final destination.

So much fun on e-bikes. Staff drove us from Queenstown to Arrowton to pick up bikes. Great guys, adjusted bikes for fit, gave us instructions for the route & pickup location. They were at the pickup spot right on time. Wineries were fun, able to get in 3 while not feeling rushed.

Not to be missed - but make sure you have a clear idea of where your going.. and book ahead for tastings.

Perfect day great people good bike and shuttle thank heaps

It was a wonderful day! The team at "Around the Basin" were fantastic and so organized. Upon arrival we were given details on how the tour worked. The shuttle bus to bring us to meet the bikes was punctual. The crew at the spot we got our bikes were so pleasant and helpful. They gave us instructions on how the bikes worked, instructions on how the e-bikes worked, (were very patient with those that had never ridden an e-bike). We were given the opportunity to practice riding at an open field - they were very easy to use! We were given a map of the trail and were on our way! We were told which winery to be at to meet the shuttles. Again very pleasant crew and punctual. It was an amazing day! Highly recommend!

Wonderful day out, with great views and great wine. Weather was a it average to begin with but became a great day by the end

Great way to see Arrowtown and Gibbston. We got breakfast in Arrowtown and did multiple vineyards in Gibbston.

Fantastic day biking experience in Queenstown. The team are awesome. One of our bikes broke part way. A quick phone call and our host turned up on the trail with a replacement within the stated 10 minutes.

This was our favorite activity of the whole trip. The weather was clear and perfect, and the scenery was to die for. A full day was perfect. We grabbed bagels and coffee in Arrowtown before heading out. Like others had mentioned, I wish we would have spent a little more time in Arrowtown since it’s a one way journey. The e-bikes are fantastic and absolutely the way to go! I’d never used one before, and they’re ideal for the hills and wind you’ll encounter. Because it was so hot, wine wasn’t really sounding good, but we stopped at Kinross which had been recommended for their pizza, and got cider, beer, pizzas, and then had a tasting flight before we left. All very good. Our last stop was at The Church winery, where the bus was to pick us up. This was the only negative experience we had during the whole event. The staff was so incredibly rude, particularly one woman. We had just arrived and sat at one of their outside locations. It’s very hippy-ish, with old tires and pallets as a table, scattered garden chairs, etc. One of our party went in the main building to find out if we order at the bar as in some locations, or waited for a server. She was treated very rudely, and the lady came storming out, saying we couldn’t just wait there for the bus. We tried explaining that yes, we were waiting for the bus, but we still had about an hour, so we were making this our last stop and wanted to order. We did end up getting drinks, but this lady literally would not speak to us the rest of the time. It was so uncomfortable. I’d recommend the biking wine tour in a heartbeat, but avoid The Church like the plague.

Good ride through the countryside. Friends completed the ride and I did not. Called for a ride and waited as directed but no one showed up. One heck of an expensive ride back to my rental.
