Winery Cycling Trail

Four Winery Cycling Trails have been created to guide you to just some of the many treasures that can be discovered in the Bendigo region.  The trails lead you to the cellar door of wineries and alert you to other stops along the way.

Fondly referred to as “The Winemakers’ Region”, the Bendigo wine region is characterised by small family owned wineries with the cellar door outlet set amongst the vines from which the wine is made.  Visitors will often meet the winemakers, sleeves rolled up, tending to their vines or working in the winery.

The climate and soil of Central Victoria, with its rich soils, spring rain and long hours of summer sunshine, are ideal for growing shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. The region is famous for its bold and deeply flavoured varietal wines.

Bendigo can be said to be a “City in the Forest.”  Hence the stunning countryside and quality wineries that surround Bendigo are perfect for exploring by bike.  Another highlight is the natural environment of native bush, wildlife, birdlife and magnificent Box-ironbark forests.  Roads and tracks are good and other attractions like eateries, picnic spots and gold-mining relics may be found along the way.
