Gardens & Parks

If you’re a fan of cycling and wine, you’re in the right place. A bicycle is a great way to explore the Hunter Valley at a relaxed pace, cycling along quiet country lanes like Palmers Lane, which links six cellar doors. 

You can target a favourite area in the region and discover cellar doors, galleries and eateries that are off the beaten track or test out the region’s new 10-kilometre cycleway along Hermitage Road. There are more than a dozen cellar doors to visit along the scenic vine-fringed path which stretches from the New England Highway to Broke Road. The cycle path passes an art gallery, antique shops and even a spa. If you're worried about buying too much wine and trying to balance it while you cycle, never fear, all purchases can be delivered to your accommodation or back to your bike hire venue.

Completed in 2017, it has an information bay just south of Old North Road with a regional map, tourist information and picnic tables. 

There are several bicycle hire companies in the area, from electric to fat tyre. Convenient pick up points include Sutton Estate Electric Bike Hire, Hunter Valley Resort, Oaks Cypress Lakes Resort, Crowne Plaza Resort and Spicers Guesthouse. Saddle up and sip Semillon… sounds sensational.

If you're looking for safe places to ride please refer to the online Hunter Valley Cycle Map.
