Combine scenic riding on the amazing Queenstown Trail with good food and wine. Ride between the cellar doors of the Gibbston Valley and experience their world-famous wines.
This self-guided ride of the Gibbston Wine Valley begins with a scenic shuttle from Queenstown to either Arrowtown or Arrow Junction*. We'll get you fitted to a bike (or E-bike!) and briefed on the navigation by our experienced team.
The bike trail follow the beautiful Arrow and Kawarau rivers, crossing over suspension bridges, to the Kawarau Bridge, home to the world-famous bungy jump. From there spend the afternoon biking at your leisure along the Gibbston River Trail, using our informative map to visit as many of the wineries linked throughout this gentle gravel trail. Enjoy a relaxed lunch en-route at one of the many venues on offer.
We will pick you up from the winery of your choice and shuttle you back to Queenstown.
