From the historic charm of Arrowtown to the vineyards of Gibbston, this full-day biking experience blends scenery, wine, and adventure. Start with a shuttle from Queenstown to Arrowtown, where you’ll be set up with your bike, helmet, and trail tips before having time to explore the town or grab a coffee or brunch.

The ride begins with 15 km of scenic trail through the Arrow and Kawarau gorges, crossing two swing bridges before reaching the iconic Kawarau Bungy Bridge.

From there, ride at your own pace through the Gibbston Wine Region, stopping for tastings, food, and vineyard views. Take your pick of 6+ wineries, a gin tasting spot, and a local tavern along the way.

Covering around 25 km of undulating gravel track, the day is yours to enjoy.

At the end, relax as your shuttle collects you from your chosen winery in Gibbston Valley — the perfect finish to an unforgettable day.
