The Central Otago region is home to some of New Zealand's finest vineyards, and one of the best ways to experience the beauty and flavours of this world-renowned region is by bike.
Lunches and snacks can be provided whilst out and about on the trails, or you may choose to take in a restaurant or Café. There is ample opportunity to experience our southern hospitality, sample local Central Otago wines and craft brewed beers, and appreciate our dramatic Central Otago landscapes.
Cycling tours starting or finishing in Clyde can include a personalised wine tour.
