Discover wine country by cycle. Enjoy a special tour of premium boutique wineries Lailey Vineyard and Reif Winery. (We reserve the right to change winery venues).
Includes: escorted group to touring centre, fitted touring bicycle, experienced local tour guide and tour of one winery with tastings at an additional winery.

Don’t forget the cameras there will be many photo opportunities!

Please note due to the pick up time of 1.30pm we would only have time to cycle to 2 wineries and travel back to NF for 5.00pm.  If departure time was earlier, 3 wineries would be visited.
