You are picked up from Queenstown and driven in a very nice bus to Arrowtown where you are given a briefing on riding through the Gibbston Valley. It is well organised and the bikes and equipment are pretty good. The cost is only your bike hire and transfer to and from Arrowtown - you get collected from a smallish pub in the Valley on the return run (or where ever else you might be). The scenery is great and the ride is very enjoyable. What was disappointing was the proprietors of the wineries ripping off the tourists. You sample very small quantities of wine at very high prices. That kind of ruined it for me and made the day disappointing. Effectively you pay up to $30 for the equivalent of one small glass of wine (120mls). Cheese boards are extra (understandably) but I would not have done this tour if I knew how expensive the wine tasting was. Could have been so much better.
Amazing time with incredible views of the area! Wine was incredible with great variety! Would highly recommence this experience just dress warmly!
