About this tour
Cycle through Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula on quiet paths and the converted rail trail, visiting working vineyards and market gardens between Geelong and Queenscliff. This six-hour self-guided route lets you set your own rhythm—stop at cellar doors for tastings, grab lunch at a local café, or pack provisions for a roadside picnic. You'll navigate using provided maps and written directions, with support available if needed. The ride covers up to 25 kilometres through farmland and coastal scenery, suitable for cyclists with moderate fitness.

What to expect
You'll collect your bike, helmet, and route map at the start, then head out on predominantly flat, dedicated cycling paths. The terrain is forgiving—mostly sealed surfaces and the rail trail with minimal traffic. Vineyards and farm gates line the route; most welcome visitors, though cellar doors have their own opening hours. Queenscliff is a compact working seaside town with cafés, restaurants, and a bookshop rather than tourist tat. The afternoon is genuinely yours—linger at a winery, take a detour to the pier, or simply sit and watch the water. Physical effort is steady rather than demanding, but you'll want reasonable bike fitness and comfort.
Good to know
Wear closed shoes and weather-appropriate layers; the coast can be breezy. Most cellar doors close by 5 p.m. Bike support and local accommodation pick-up available on request. The route is best tackled in good weather—check conditions beforehand. Bring sunscreen and a light snack even if planning a sit-down lunch.
