We had an outstanding experience with Vine Wine Tours! Alison met us right at our accommodation and took care of everything from the get-go. She provided super helpful, detailed maps and set us up for a self-guided ride along a mostly downhill trail—perfect for our group of four, which included two keen cyclists and two less experienced ones.
We had an absolute blast! Highlights included a wine tasting stop at Eldridge Cellar Door, a delicious lunch at BBQ Gums, a visit to the Truffle Shop, and some browsing at Merricks General Store—a fantastic spot we almost wished we’d finished at! (Though we did enjoy continuing on to the beach.)
Alison picked us up at the end and dropped us back to our accommodation—top-notch service from start to finish. The full ride was around 27km and was a total highlight of our week in the Mornington Peninsula. Highly recommend booking with Alison and Vino wine Tours!
The bike tour through Mornington was perfectly organized and suitable for all fitness levels. What really set this experience apart was the personal touch - Alison and Libby's knowledge and friendly approach made everyone feel comfortable and engaged throughout the tour.
The grand finale was a stunning picnic with absolutely delicious catering that exceeded our expectations. The food selection was fantastic and it was the perfect way to wind down after our cycling adventure.
This was exactly what we needed for team bonding - combining outdoor activity, great views, and amazing food. The entire team hasn't stopped talking about it since!
Highly recommend Cycling Vine Tours for any corporate team building event. We'll definitely be back! Thank you Alison and Libby for an unforgettable experience.
One of the best days out we’ve had in Australian so far.
Would highly recommend if you want to explore the peninsula!
Thanks again
Libbie our host was lovely very friendly and had a wealth of local knowledge she pointed out places of interest and gave us plenty if time to stop and take photos.
It's a great experience to get out of the city and see something different
