Ride the Hunter Valley
10 Dec 2022
A fantastic Saturday ride experience in the Hunter Valley, with little or no traffic for hours on end, and random stops (if needed) at those little country General Stores for a caffeine fix or old fashioned lolly bag. Features a festival of food and stalls at the finish line, this ride has all the ingredients to want to come back year after year.
Established on the beautiful Hunter River in 1828, Dalwood Estate is regarded as the birthplace of Hunter Valley wine.
Almost 200 years later, Dalwood continues to raise the bar in Australian winemaking, placing passion, expertise and technique at the heart of all we do. We are proud to bring you an outstanding selection of Hunter Valley wines born from a legacy close to two centuries in the making.
THE BIKE
Bikes, bikes, and more bikes. This new event will see thousands of riders converge into the Hunter Valley to ride in one of the most picturesque regions in Australia. Remember we need your bike to be in great shape with two brakes (that work), an Australian approved helmet, carry a phone and adequate fluid and nutrition for the distance you enter.
THE FOOD
This region is overflowing with wineries and restaurants so you can enjoy delicious and fun experiences after your ride and during your stay in our area. Whether you conquer the 150km or enjoy our 22km, the finish line will be pumping with music and sample treats to wash the sweat away and start the bragging stories.
THE FESTIVAL
Enjoy the atmosphere of the festival village where you’ll find entertainment and treats to eat, as well all of the latest gear for your riding adventures!
