Cycle North East Victoria: Beechworth to Bright via Milawa

This 5 day/4 nights cycling tour in North East Victoria is for anyone wanting to cover all the major sights and gourmet delights in this increasingly popular cycling region. Using the paved, largely flat, off road Murray to Mountains rail trail as the cycling path, you will taste the gourmet treats that abound in the north east Victoria region, as well as enjoy the incredible scenery and accessible, safe cycling paths. Starting in Beechworth, you will cycle to Milawa, Myrtleford and Bright over 4 nights.

This tour has 3 days cycling covering the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail in almost it's entirety, a relatively easy 100kms with only 1 small and gentle uphill section on the second day. The cycling is suitable for even novice or beginner riders, and we now have electric assist bikes available if you have any doubts! The tour is fully supported with a van only a phone call away.

Being self guided, you are free to cycle as far and wide as you like. Recommended routes and maps are provided but navigation is easy so you are free to roam! There are plenty of lovely optional add on rides including around Beechworth on arrival day and from Bright before your departure transfers.

Our guests are often surprised at the quality of food and wine from the region. Your tour includes restaurant meals in the evenings, platter style feasts for lunch and full breakfasts throughout (with the all imporant coffee - or tea!). As a guest of Tour de Vines you will enjoy exclusive food and wine tastings (e.g. food and wine pairing at beautiful Gapsted Winery on Day 3).
