Great day out exploring the Bellarine rail trail on bike! Lovely views and long, flat trails. The tour included instructions on directions with your choice of stops at various wineries, old railway stations and lake/bays along the way. Libbie was great at organising it all & got me set up ready to ride, with pickup at the end of the day whenever I needed. Great experience for varying ranges of bike riding ability & relaxing to complete at your own pace 😊

We had a great day out on the self guided tour of the Bellarine. Libbie picked us up at Queenscliff and drove out to the start at Curlewis, sending us on our way with well maintained bikes and everything we needed for a safe and enjoyable day. We stopped in at a couple of wineries as we made our way back on the rail trail, cycling around 25km all up - a most enjoyable day!

Allison was great, it was a top- wine tour, the tastings were very nice and you just have to see,: a tasting from Allison and they all know here! Yes people do this cycling taste wine- tour! Just everything top!

This wine tasting tour is wonderful! The tour was great with Allison, we recommend it very much. Allison let us do the bike-tour and she stayed in contact in the mean time We did two nice wine tastings at very nice locations you just had to mention the name Allison and all doors opened. Yes a felt as a warm bath, a great day, thanks Allison!

Our guide Allison gave us a lovely bike ride tour of Brighton Beach and a few neighborhoods where we saw all ages of architecture and small shopping areas. Riding slong the paths along the beaches made my dsy. .

Cycling Vine Tours were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Alison made the process really easy, and helped us change our booking date to Sunday (her day off) so we could avoid a 40 degree day, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Collection times were also easy to organise, and the drop off made everything feel relaxed and stress-free.

Our group had never mountain biked before but the bikes were great - very sturdy, and the track very fun. We cycled 20km winding mostly downhill through some beautiful scenery and predominantly off road bike tracks which gave us excellent access to the wineries. We found the amphora wines at Eldridge estate to be particularly good. Thanks Alison! We will be back!

We were staying in Melbourne and accidentally booked the wrong tour - totally our mistake. What could’ve been a stressful day was completely turned around thanks to their flexibility and outstanding customer service.

They were incredibly accommodating and adjusted everything to fit our needs, turning what might’ve been a disappointment into a really great day. The communication was easy, the attitude was positive, and they genuinely wanted to help us have a good experience.

I would absolutely use Cycling Vine Tours again and am already looking forward to booking with them on our next visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, well-run excursion in the Portarlington/Bellarine area or anywhere they operate.

My partner and I had a wonderful time on the Mornington Peninsula cycling wine tour and couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

We were met at Arthur’s Seat by Alison, who got us set up with bikes, helmets and a map, and made sure we were ready for the day ahead. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow, with great suggestions for things to see and do along the route, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and well thought-through.

Alison recommended some excellent stopping points along the way – Mock Red Hill for cider, Eldridge Estate and Stonier for wine, and Epicurean Café for lunch – all of which were fantastic. We were also lucky enough to visit on the day of the monthly Hill and Ridge Community Market.

The Red Hill Rail Trail was an absolute standout – an amazing downhill ride all the way towards the coast and such good fun. At the end of the ride, Alison picked us up from Balnarring Beach and drove us all the way back to our accommodation in Arthur’s Seat, which was hugely appreciated after a full day out.

On top of that, Alison generously shared some brilliant tips for the rest of our stay, including the Cape Schanck to Bushrangers Bay walk (which we did the next morning and loved), as well as restaurant recommendations and some things to avoid.

Thank you so much to Alison and the team behind Cycling Vine Tours. A beautifully organised experience from start to finish – we would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting the Mornington Peninsula.

We had a fantastic day out cycling as a family, it was a perfect activity and way to see some of Mornington Peninsula on a perfect weather day. We have very mixed cycling experience as a family and Allison planned out a great route for us that everyone could have a good time on. The wineries were great and the day ran very smoothly. Allison was always quick to respond to communication and provided us with a number of other local recommendations for the rest of our trip. I would definitely recommend booking a cycle tour with Allison for anyone travelling to the area.

We had a wonderful day with Allison! Starting with a fantastic bike ride, lovely Devonshire tea and then heading for a delicious lunch and wine tasting in the afternoon. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to have a fun day and check out a bit of the Yarra Valley.

We booked a mountain bike tour with Cycling Vine Tours for our end-of-year work Christmas party and it was absolutely brilliant. The bikes were excellent and the ride was fun without being difficult, making it perfect for everyone.

Allison was amazing — incredibly organised and very flexible. We worked together to create an itinerary that suited our needs perfectly. The wine tasting at Stonier was a great highlight, and everyone had an incredible time. We’ll be talking about this experience for years. Highly recommended.

Great cycling MP tour Allison is terrific and we enjoyed our cycling tour so much. I highly recommend it for a couples activity or with family though it’s also be fun solo. The track is mostly downhill and gorgeous. You’re not on the main road for long before going mostly on lovely wooded paths. Great stops along the way and loved Allison’s relaxed approach and flexibility. Would do it again and go to the furthest point next time. Stop by Fern gulley for a walk too and you might see an echidna near rotting trees like we did.

Great Cycle Tours in Mornington Peninsula! Well maintained Bikes and very clear and pro-active communication with Cycling Vine Tours. Pick-up and drop off at our Airbnb made that we both could enjoy the wine tasting!

A great experience. Did the self-guided winery tour. It is a safe, chill ride mainly on shared bike/walking paths.

Allison met me at Arthur’s Seat and handed over a Trek MB with puncture kit, first aid, lock etc. perhaps most importantly detailed route notes and maps.

The route is mainly downhill from Arthur’s Seat (as long as you don’t get lost). Plenty of places for coffee and food. Allison can pick you up along the route so you don’t have to worry about riding its entire length if you get tired (or overindulge).

Just be aware that many wineries are only open Friday - Monday so on a midweek ride you might find not many places open.

We had a great day out on the Bellarine Costal Path!

Libbie met us off the ferry from Melbourne and provided us with everything we could possibly need. Great Trek bikes in top condition.

The route provided was easy to follow and good suggestions for places to stop.

There were lots of wild birds including Pelicans.

Highly recommended if you want to escape the city for a day.

We had so much fun. Bike's rode well. Was quite an adventure . Made it easy getting picked up from our venue and dropped home. Great wine. Food. And service. Thanks 🙏

Thanks vine tours we had a fabulous ride from Portarlington to St Leonards and back - wonderful lunch and stay at Portarlington Grand Hotel. Even managed the severe wind and rain to enjoy the day and a well earned drink post ride. Cheers

Bellarine Self Guided Bike Trip. We had a fabulous experience with Vine Tours. The ride along the foreshore from Portarlington to St Leonards was great and we loved it. The bikes were easy to ride and Libby made sure we had all the information we required. Libby arranged the activities, including a fantastic lunch and drinks. We would highly recommend this trip as a must do experience.

A great route from Arthur’s Seat to the west coastline What a great experience, very well supported by Allison, useful tips on what to see en route and what to expect so there were no surprises! The bikes were good, the maps helpful and, without the advice we probably wouldn’t have seen half the things we did.

Had a fantastic time on the self guided Mornington Peninsula tour. Allison was brilliant, super helpful and had a great knowledge of the area. Top notch bike was provided with pump etc. Allison really took the time before I set off to talk through the map and was on hand throughout the day for any questions. The route was easy to follow, varied and had some amazing places to stop off at. Will definitely use this company again - highly recommend!

This self guided bike tour was fantastic. Libbie was so accomodating and gave wonderful recommendations before we started the rail trail so we could make the most of it!! We had such a fun day and would recommend everyone do the trail with these guys.

We had an outstanding experience with Cycling Vine tours Allison meet us at our accommodation picked the four of us up took us to the start point. She gave us very thorough and informative maps so we could do self guiding along the route. the trail is mostly downhill - we had 2 good cyclists and 2 not quite so good cyclists and we all had an amazing time. we stopped at Eldridge Cellar door for some wine tasting had an amazing lunch at BBQ gum, stopped at the truffle shop and then a look around Merricks General Store which is a great end point. We continued on and finished up near the beach. I think I would have preferred to finish at Merricks. Alison picked us up and dropped us back to our accomodation awesome service. overall it was about 27km’s and ended up as a highlight of our week Trip in the Mornington Peninsula highly recommend booking with Alison.

Great customer service from start to finish. Tailored tour to fit our needs, including coffee and lunch recommendations! Beautiful ride and just an awesome day out. Nice people and recommend for sure

Vine Wine Tours – A Mornington Peninsula Highlight !
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!

What can I say? I booked this tour as wanting to combine cycling with some wineries and food exploring red hill. It was absolutely brilliant. Allison picked us up from our accommodation and we had a good laugh on the way to Arthur’s seat for the starting point. The bikes were awesome & the directions and maps that were provided were very detailed so we staying on track. What a stunning cycle. Definitely worth doing in Mornington peninsula. We had a gorgeous lunch along the way & did a handful of tastings.

Had an incredible team building experience with Cycling Vine Tours! Our entire team was blown away by the exceptional service provided by Alison and Libby, who went above and beyond to make our day special.

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.

Fun day with my friends from Argentina We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring the Mornington Peninsula with Cycling Vine Tours. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized, relaxed, and full of charm—thank you Allison for making it possible.

A fantastic day riding from Arthurs Seat to Merricks via the wineries. A very easy, safe & spectacular ride. Great bikes & collection service to take us back to our car at the end. Highly recommend!

Awesome cycling in the Mornington Peninsula Couldn’t have been happier with our two days cycling on the Mornington Peninsula. Allison’s knowledge of the area and tailor made routes ticked all the boxes for us. The first day took us up the coast whilst the second went through the forests and vineyards. Excellent lunch at Merricks Stores on the second day again recommended by Allison. This cycling trip will definitely be one of the highlights of our holiday, big thanks Allison definitely ️️️️️

My family absolutely loved our bike tour through Red Hill! It was the perfect way to spend a day and see more of Victoria. We were only in town for a short time but I am so glad we were able to fit this in. Pick up / drop off of bikes was easy and the lunch spot at the end was delicious! Thanks very much to Cycling Vine Tours!

Amazing Bike Adventure Cycling Vine Tours My friends and I had a wonderful experience riding from Arthur's Seat down to Merricks Store. Allison was fantastic to deal with from booking the experience to making sure everything went smoothly on the day. We felt so well looked after. This was our second time doing the bike ride, we could easily go a third time and stop at different wineries and restaurants along the way. There is so much to do in the Red Hill area. We stopped at Mock Red Hill for coffee and cider, then had lunch at Epicurean before heading to Stonier for wine tasting and Merricks store to purchase some wines we discovered on our last adventure! Great way to spend the day with some friends! Highly recommend Cycling Vine Tours for a truly memorable experience!

Wonderful Mtn Bike thru Morningside Peninsula Allison was super responsive & flexible arranging our ride, modifying times to accommodate us. Lovely scenery, good mtn bike (average challenge) rewarded by a nice lunch after at Merricks Country Store, a local gem which Allison booked for us. Make sure you stop in to Pt. Leo’s Winery for a world class modern sculpture garden and ocean views!

Such a fun day!! All the wine, coffee and food stops were perfect! We were given great instructions and a very clear map so knew exactly where to go. Would highly recommend.

A lovely winery hike tour in Red Hill! I recently went on a winery bike tour in Red Hill and it was an absolute delight! From start to finish, the day was flawlessly organised and packed with stunning scenery, delicious food and outstanding wine. The cycle was easy to manage, even for a casual cyclist, with mostly flat downhill terrain. Highly recommend for wine lovers and anyone looking for a fun day out!

Perfect cycle in Red Hill We had a sensational cycle through Red Hill area. Libbie’s knowledge of the area was greatly appreciated and her bookings for tastings and lunch were just perfect. It was an unforgettable day for the 14 extended family members!! Highly recommend

Cycling tour well organised by Allison. We booked cycling tour in Mornington peninsula by cycling vine tours. We were group of 6 people. Allison organised tour amazingly per our requirements. She provided detailed instructions, maps and phone support when required. We enjoyed cycling in hills, nature and through wineries. Also enjoyed wine testing, coffee stops, lunch and wineries as per Allison's recommendations. We will definitely book again with Allison.

What fun! We had a self-guided tour and loved the fact that we were given lots of information beforehand so we could book lunch and plan the day .
I was a bit nervous as I usually ride an ebike but found the wide wheels and the suspension of the bike provided was perfect for the trails and i felt much safer.
I’d bought the present for my brother and we had a ball. A great variety of scenery and of course, lots of stops for coffee, wine and food.
The maps were brilliant and it was reassuring to know we could ring at any stage and be picked up .
It would be a great activity to do as a group of friends or with interstate or overseas visitors.
Highly recommend !

What an incredible bike tour! It was a full-on adventure, cycling through the vineyards, stopping at the coffee spots for a snack, and soaking in the beauty of nature. The trees were absolutely towering, and seeing horses grazing nearby added a magical touch. I had such a wonderful time! Allison, the tour manager, was lovely and incredibly generous with her time and guidance. I’d absolutely do this again with my friends. Highly recommended!

What a great way to spend a Saturday, cruising downhill through the gorgeous peninsula forests, sipping stunning wines and soaking up the lovely scenery. Ably hosted by Allison, we highly recommend this day tour. Thank you @cyclingwinetours!

We had an amazing day with a personalised red hill cycle winery tour for my hens day. It was great for all abilities and I loved that we were able to personalise the itinerary and had some much help on the day too. Highly recommend for something a bit different than your standard winery day! Looking forward to doing some of the other regions through vine tours in the future!

Allison was the perfect guide and the route was wonderful. Definitely got to see a different part of Melbourne. The pace was perfect, bicycles in pristine condition. Would recommend this tour!

Had such a great experience! Allison was great with answering questions/advice with emails before and the day was flawless. Instructions were easy to follow and she went the extra mile at the end let us linger a bit for an overtime wine tasting and taking us to another spot for a view. Highly recommended, wish we stayed in Mornington longer (we will next time!).

It was an enjoyable personally tailored cycling experience, Allison was chatty and considered our cycling level and picked well with what she suggested we do. We rode, took in the scenery and ate and drank our way around the Bellarine region. Would highly recommend doing one of their tours regardless of you abilities, it’s was a great way to experience our local region.

Amazing day I've had such an amazing afternoon the Bayside is magical and Allison is such a wonderful woman, thank you very much ️

We had a fantastic day out on the Red Hill trail on Mornington Peninsula. Allison and Cameron were super friendly and accommodating and helped to plan a day that perfectly suited what we were looking for. Thank you!!

Super fun! The bike tour was really enjoyable experience. Allison was very polite and responsive to us when we had questions. We had a great day on the trail and some delicious food and drinks along the way!

Amazing tour. So well organised. Allison and her family pulled out all the stops. 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

Cycling wine tour Amazing experience. Amazing tour. So well organised. Allison and her family pulled out all the stops.
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

Very relaxing, thoroughly enjoyed it Gentle cycle along the coast and Melbourne's beach side suburbs.
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
Ros & Jeff

Awesome day out with a really helpful host Great fun. Lovely surroundings to explore on 2 wheels. Libbie was super host, helping us get the most out of the trip. Would totally recommend!

I had a wonderful time cycling in the Yarra Valley. The trail was beautiful and I enjoyed all of the stops along the way too. Our first stop was a lovely tea spot with freshly baked scones. The vineyards we visited were picturesque and the wine tastings were delicious. It was such a fun/relaxing day. I highly recommend a tour with Cycling Vine!

Our group was celebrating a friends 30th and did the Mornington peninsula self-guided tour. Libbie gave us plenty help on the day and some really good recommendations for places to eat and do tastings. Would highly recommend! Thank you for making it a memorable day!

We were in Melbourne for the Australian Open and the Yarra Valley Food & Wine Region tour was just what we needed to take a break between our tennis-watching days. Libbie met us at the train station and informed us that it would be a private tour with just our party of two — what a treat! The morning bike ride was easy and straightforward, and the winery visit in the afternoon was so peaceful and relaxing. We even got to see a kookaburra on the trip! Thank you, Libbie, for a most enjoyable day.

A fun way to see Brighton Beach Very enjoyable bike ride of about 11 miles on paths or bike lanes in low traffic areas. Libbie picked us up at cruise terminal and returned us to tram station with instructions for how to get back to Melbourne and our ship. Bikes were well maintained and Libbie seemed very knowledgeable about area in which we rode. Definitely recommend.
