Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Shuttle met ons mee van Queenstown naar het historische dorp Arrowtown. Je krijgt je fiets/e-bike mee en alle informatie die je nodig hebt om naar de wijngaarden in Gibbston te fietsen. Verken Arrowtown, pak een kopje koffie en begin je rit naar de Gibbston River Trail.
Het pad volgt het met wilgen omzoomde Arrow River Bridges Trail en steekt een aantal bruggen over.
Rijd over de Kawarau-hangbrug - de thuisbasis van 's werelds eerste commerciële bungy jump.
Rijd over de Gibbston River Trail. Bezoek zoveel kelders, brouwerijen of tavernes als je wilt.
Een typische taverne met heerlijke houtgestookte pizza en pub eten ... met natuurlijk wijn en bier!
Bezoek de kelderdeur van Gibbston Valley Winery of doe een van hun rondleidingen door de grootste wijngrot van Nieuw-Zeeland.
Vol persoonlijkheid, Mt Rosa ligt aan het einde van de vallei en is zeker de moeite waard om te bezoeken.
Deze oude kerk werd in 1894 in Wangaloa gebouwd en is begin jaren 2000 naar Gibbston verhuisd. Tegenwoordig worden er in plaats van hymnes en preken lokale wijnen en goede vibes geserveerd.
Aan het einde van de vallei - een heerlijke plek om te ontspannen en te genieten.
Aan het einde van de Gibbston River Trail - een mooie, rustige plek om te genieten van wat kwaliteitswijn

What a great day!! You have the choice of a regular bike or an e-bike. After the guide gives instructions and you’re comfortable, you’re on your way!! You can stop at as many or as few wineries as you choose. And the ride along the way is gorgeous!! We only stopped at the Gibbston Valley Winery and The Church Cellar Door winery, which was a great place to end. The views were spectacular, the music was great, and the atmosphere was lively. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy!!
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.
Thanks for the great review! We’re glad you enjoyed the scenery, your stop in Arrowtown, and the live music at Kinross. Good spotting getting back on track after the bridge - sounds like you made the most of the day!
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.
Thanks for the review! Sounds like you had a great day out at the wineries. Hopefully see you again next time. Cheers!
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
Thanks Sean - we really appreciate the five stars and great feedback!
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
Thanks Riley. Bike The Wineries is one of our favourite days out. Glad to hear the weather got better for you at end - hope you managed to enjoy some sunshine at the wineries! Hope to see you again. Cheers, The Around The Basin Team
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.
