Great Taste Wine Tour

Take a day to explore the wine country on and around the Great Taste Trail. Linger at the wineries, stop off at cafes & galleries and relax with friends. With this self-guided tour, you will have many options to choose from. Typically starting on the Great Taste Trail Coastal Route, you’ll follow the shoreline with boardwalks and stunning estuary views. The second section is on quiet country roads, passing orchards, arty places and a hop garden. Explore two colonial churchyards en route and the historic village of Brightwater, where the main street is dotted with quaint old cottages and gardens. The third section takes the Great Taste Trail Rail Route back to Stoke, with short on-road detours to visit cellar doors, cafes and a cheese shop. Finally, there are two breweries perfectly positioned near the end of the trail for a celebration refreshment before the short ride back to The Gentle Cycling Company.
