Beautiful scenery along the river biking to the many wineries. We chose to use mountain bikes instead of e-bikes and it was very doable. There were a few steep hills but manageable. We enjoyed all the wineries and had snacks at each place. Especially enjoyed the creamy mushroom & thyme soup at The Church! Our guides that got us to Arrowtown and back were great!!
