At Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia, we are all about discovering and exploring Australia's beautiful wine regions.  One very efficient, enjoyable and healthy method of touring these beautiful areas is on a bicycle with the wind in your hair and stunning scenery in every direction.  Here we bring you some of our suggestions for a two-wheeled tour of temptation.

A great way to see the best the Mornington Peninsula has to offer is on a guided cycle tour through the back roads. Taking in incredible views over Port Phillip Bay, berry farms, cheese makers and, of course, wineries – including Montalto Vineyard & Olive Grove where you can sample fine food and wine and admire the sculpture walk before continuing on your cycle trail.
