Your journey will begin with a scenic and informative transfer to the quaint village of Arrowtown which is steeped in rich gold-mining history.
Our local, knowledgeable team will fit you to your bikes and provide an entertainment briefing of your adventure ahead. Enjoy a coffee at one of the many cafes or get straight on your bike and get ready to take to the picturesque Arrow River Trail. You'll see the mighty Kawarau River and cross over the historic suspension bridge - now home to the Bungy, on the original Miners Trail.
From here you can ride the scenic Gibbston River Trail and visit the many award-winning wineries, a cheese deli, gin room and tavern that are linked through this easy riding trail. All trails are purpose-built, easy to moderate grade and off-road, with only direct road crossing between wineries.
Relax knowing that you only have to bike in one direction (no biking back to Arrowtown in a head wind!) and your return transport to Queenstown is taken care of. We'll even collect any wine purchases for you.
Wineries en route are:
• Gibbston Valley Winery
• Gibbston Cheesery / Deli

Biking fun
We changed to the half day experience and it was fantastic. We started at the farm instead of Arrowtown and rode all up about 2 & 1/2 hours which was enough for me! We made the Gibbston Tavern our last stop and they picked us up from there. It was spectacular scenery during the ride, the bikes were great and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fantastic day out, not to be missed
Great service from the team. Trail was amazing and wineries were lovely. The views from the trail are not to be missed. Get an e-bike you won’t be sorry.

Lovely day but ...
We were not aware that the 9am was a strict pick up time to be dropped out to the start of the track . As we had just come off a hiking track we were late to get there and missed the bus the lovely girls rebooked us on the 10.30 pick up which was great but no one ever stated this and we also checked in Qtown days before the booking to check it was booked and that person did not state it was a strict pick up time . We thought we could just wander in and start it from Qtown . Once we were on the bikes it was a beautiful day.

Hi Loretta All of the product information and check in times are clearly displayed on your booking confirmation along with details of what you have booked. As the product you booked involved a shuttle to Arrowtown we do always have scheduled departure times for this. We consider people know what they are booking when they have chosen a trip and booked online. Cheers Lisa - Around The Basin.

Lovely day out!
It was a fun & different way to experience some of New Zealand's wonderful wineries. The bikes and the staff were great. I highly recommend the E-Bike upgrade for those who don't cycle often. The only disappointment was Gibston Valley Winery, they give you your tasting flight and tell you scan a QR for tasting notes and information on the wine. The wines were nice, but without the any personal interaction it didn't feel like a proper wine tasting. The other wineries were great and the Church was perfect place to finish with their beautiful outdoor area and selection of wines & food.
