We’re very excited to be part of this year’s Cyclorama e-bike Festival at https://www.facebook.com/CycloramaNewZealand
one of the four stops on their most popular ride, The Tour de Gourmet. It’s a degustation lunch on e-bikes. Remember the days of progressive potluck dinners? It’s like that but there’s a chef at each stop who will do the cooking – no more chilli con carne to take your head off! I’m afraid I can’t tell you where we’re going to be or exactly what we’re serving – it’s all part of the mystery of the ride! But I can guarantee that our dish (which may use some very special venison…) will certainly be a delicious representation of our region and on theme as befits the ride name.

I do know that each stop is different with two at private properties, and one is at a winery that is in the most stunning location in the area. They’re all easy to get to on the Queenstown trails, plus the riders are given a briefing and a map to help them navigate their way.

Curious about this ride (or the others – there are seven altogether!)? You can check it out here Cyclorama e-bike Festival There are still some tickets available on both days for Tour de Gourmet, although some of the departure times have sold out.

You may have seen the Cyclorama signs around the district. You may catch them on TVNZ’s Seven Sharp on Friday night. Or you can turn up at the Festival Village (Butler’s Green, Arrowtown) at Labour Weekend to see what’s going on. There’s more food there as well as a wee pub, the Fork & Tap, live music, and bike retailers.

It’s all happening next weekend. I hope to catch you on the Tour de Gourmet – come say hi

Experience Cyclorama NZ. New Zealand's only e-bike festival over the October Labour weekend 2023
