RELAX & REVIVE: Tour De Vines

written by Weng Yee Leong

As life seems to get busier with more to be done and do, it’s important to regularly revive the soul by getting away from technology and slowing down the pace of life.  Fresh air and beautiful scenery can be a delightfully refreshing experience for mind and body.  

… so imagine for a moment that you are sitting down on a picnic blanket with a delicious glass of wine, a wonderful smorgasbord of gourmet cheeses and meats, admiring the beautiful view around you. Doesn’t that sound just delightful? 

Would you believe it, if I said that you would be able to combine this with a leisurely and healthy activity like cycling with Tour de Vines? There are no rough terrains, no steep hills; just gentle cycling paths, which suit even the most occasional riders. 

Tour de Vines is a company that specialises in organizing tours for like-minded people who enjoy delicious wines, gorgeous food and the love of cycling. Founded by Damian Cerini as a hobby idea for himself and some friends in the early 2000s, he started cycling tours in North Eastern Victoria simply to relax over the weekend. 

Over the years as Damian’s hobby progressed so did his ideas … enter ‘Tour de Vines’. Today ‘Tour de Vines’ offer a variety of tours available in Australia, New Zealand, France and Italy and there are even future plans to offer cycling tours in America, South America and South Africa.

These tours range from weekend trips to weeklong expeditions tailored for relaxation and soul rejuvenation.
