Great 3 days on the Murray to Mountains rail trail. Great accomodation, great food and wine. Well organised itinerary with a good day's riding each day.

We had this biking trip recommended to us and it did not disappoint. Our bikes were great, views thru the countryside were awesome, and the food was superb. Damien, who helped us book our self guided trip, was very helpful in his knowledge of the area. Our local guides, Annette and Michael, went over and above making sure we were well taken care of and comfortable with our adventure. We knew they were always available if needed. We highly recommend Tour de Vines.

This tour was actually the Five Day Tour de Grand Gourmet which very well organised and although self guided, the staff kept in contact with us along the way to check everything was going well. The Mountains to Murray trail was easy to follow and ride and designated food stops had excellent food and wine. A couple of the motels were a little disappointing, however, I’m not sure there was any better choice in those towns. Overall we had a wonderful time and would certainly use Tour de Vines again.

Lovely trail ride amongst beautiful scenery! Annette was so lovely and gave us local recommendations along the way which was much appreciated.

Fantastic 3 night self guided tour- beautiful wineries for our lunches and great choices chosen for dinner- accommodation was clean and spacious and our guides Michael and Bernard were very helpful. Our 13 year old son kept up on his e-bike and loved it as much as we did- would highly recommend

I have done many trips with Tour de Vines with a few of them in New Zealand and this was the second time touring from Beechworth but this time with my husband. We chose the gourmet self guided option over 5 nights and 4 days of riding as we extended our trip to ride a return trip from Bright to Harrietville which I can highly recommend as. It is a beautiful ride along yhe beginnings of the Ovens River for most of the way. The operative word for this trip was GOURMET with magnificent locations, excellent service and food to sample but a couple of places were particularly spectacular. San Miranda King Valley winery is the lunch stop for the first day and is just outside of Milawa and we couldn’t believe the magnificent platter with delicious calamari and other treats on a platter which we thought was destined for the table of six next to us to share. Lancemore’s Merlot Restaurant at our accommodation in Milawa was great too. Myrtleford for our third night is a beautiful country town and I once again went to Red Rama which has a couple of warehouses in the Main Street with an eclectic mix of garden and house decor items from China, Japan, Morocco and India. I recalled it as a highlight of the trip from the last time and it did not disappoint. I mentioned it to others on the ride and they were very excited to see it. (Unfortunately Red Rama is not mentioned in the tour notes). It is worth noting that quite a number of businesses were not open as some of them are seasonal and I suspect some of them may also be closed down. I would recommend that Tour de Vines update their guide material to reflect the current state of business availability to assist riders and also include reference to Red Rama, Myrtleford as it is an amazing attraction. Another tip for riders is to ensure you take full wet weather gear as it can be very cold and wet! We could have sold our wet weather trousers for a good profit to two other intrepid riders with very blue, wet legs sheltering on top of Taylor’s Gap. Tour de Vines staff are always amazing and many thanks to Annette and Michael for their friendly guidance as it helped it all to run smoothly for us. Also much appreciation to Damian and his staff and we will soon be planning another adventure with you.

Thank you Tour De Vines. Annette our tour guide was fantastic. She contacted us the night before to organise and confirm time and place to meet for the start of the tour and answered my question about where we can park. On the day of our tour both my husband and I alarms failed to wake us and because Annette had contacted us the night before I was able to text her and explain our predicament. She was so lovely and understanding and replied that we could start the tour later. When we arrived She met us with the bikes and then we got our choice of hot beverage while she sat us down and explained the route we were to follow. She was very careful to explain and describe the route and the stops we could make on the way. We were very glad to get the e bikes as I don't think we would have made it otherwise! The mini cheese tasting at Milewa Cheese was enjoyable and we especially liked lunch at The Providore where the service was very warm and friendly and it was so lovely to sit in comfortable arm chairs in front of a roaring fire at the end of a long ride. My husband was so tired he had a little nap in front of the fire!

Good communication, Michael was friendly, knowledgeable and easy going. Bookings were all excellent, accommodation, restaurants, cafes and wineries Rail trail was a great ride, self guiding was easy, very scenic and an electric bike made it doable not being regular riders.
