Highly recommend for an active afternoon and a great way to taste a few different wineries in one go! Roughly 10km to the last one so upgrade to the E-bike if you can (I did not and was pretty sore by the end)

Tastings are not included in the price of this package, but average cost is around $10 per winery (some are free!).
The Queenstown Trail is easy mountain biking; most of the 130kms network is grade 2 or 3 (small sections are grade 4).
By easy, it's mostly smooth, predictable, and very well-maintained trail. Its surface is made of gravel making it excellent for riding any time of year. Most sections are wide enough for riders to pass side-by-side (2 metres +).
There is a combination of flat and hilly terrain. Though most of the trail is undulating, some of the hills are quite steep but not too long.
If you’re unfamiliar with mountain biking or concerned about the hills, we recommend upgrading to an Electric-bike. These pedal-assisted bikes take the sting out of any hill and guarantees you to have an awesome riding experience!
Helmets and some sunscreen are provided.
In winter, a good jacket and warm pair of gloves are recommended.
Electric-bikes enable you to ride further, faster, and with less effort than a regular mountain bike.
These pedal-assisted bikes help you along with 3 different power settings, taking the sting out of the hilly sections of trail.
You'll get a full explanation about how to operate these Electric-bikes efficiently to get the most out of your ride.
There is about 7-15km of scenic, undulating terrain, with river and mountain vistas. Approx. 1.5-2 hours ride time.
