Don’t get us wrong, we love the Murrumbateman wine trial, but if you are a confident (and competent) rider we have a special adventure just for you.
Ride some scenic country roads and go Off the Beaten Wine Trial to sample some of Murrumbateman’s most awarded wines (and meet some of the wine makers), accompanied with a few epicurean delights along the way. We’ve hand curated the perfect all-inclusive day for you to spoil that someone special (ormake a day to remember with family and friends, groups of up to 8 are welcome).

 

You start your day with us at 9:30am, we’ll get you set up and on your way to your first tasting at Shaw Wines at 10am.
At Shaw Wines you will enjoy a seated tasting at your own table where you can taste the wines in your own time. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff will guide you through their delicious range using the bracket system, which allows you to  taste the wines in pairs making it easier to identify the different characters of the wines. You’ll love their stunning cellar door and it’s sweeping views across their vineyard and beyond.

This 9.5km ride will take you along beautiful hill lined country roads, with scenic vistas dotted with cattle, sheep and horses, and on through a wooded naturereserve. Beyond this you will find your second stop, Yarrh at  11:30am.

 

Yarrh’s cellar door commands a stunning view of the neighbouring

Next stop is 14 km’s away the always fun and entertaining Dionysus Wines at 1:30pm.
The winemaking approach at Dionysus is simple; attention to detail at every stage of the process is paramount. Wendy, Michael and the team will guide you through a tasting in either the cellar door, in the winery, in the sculpture garden or under the pergola overlooking their beautiful views. Then comes the tricky part, choosing which glass of wine to pair with your three gourmet cheeses, home made quince paste, dried fruits, nuts and crackers.
