Rutherglen Loops - Explore our Beautiful Region on Two Wheels

The best way to explore the region and its wineries is by push bike, as it lets you experience the landscape at an unhurried, immersive pace. Cycling allows you to move easily between vineyards along quiet backroads and dedicated trails, stopping whenever something catches your eye—whether it’s a cellar door, a scenic lookout, or a local café.

Riding through the region also heightens your connection to the surroundings: the changing terrain, the scent of vines and eucalyptus, and the rhythm of rural life are all more noticeable from the saddle than from a car. Many wineries cater to cyclists, offering bike racks, relaxed tasting spaces, and picnic areas where you can linger without feeling rushed.

From a practical perspective, push bikes make short distances between wineries feel effortless, remove parking concerns, and support a more responsible approach to wine tasting. It’s an active, sustainable, and memorable way to travel—one that turns the journey itself into a highlight, not just the destinations.

Ride. Rove. Relish.
