This is a unique way of experiencing the Central West and visiting renowned Wineries at the same time! It caters for your love of good wine, good food, exhilaration, fun, a touch of adrenalin and amazing scenery. There will be enough "Bike Time" to give you a real taste for sidecar travel - without overdoing it. The tour caters for two people and you can swap from sidecar to pillion as you wish. You will meet some wonderful characters and the winery experiences range from the "highly polished cellar door" to the rustic working winery environment. You can purchase wine on the spot or order for delivery or just enjoy the tasting - no obligations. In designing this tour I wanted to give travelers an experience of both high and low altitude wines. The Central West is perfect for this.
