Majura: Mountain Biking Trails, Winegrowing and Farm History

Discover Majura through three very different interests: mountain biking trails, winegrowing and farming. The Majura Pines put trails for mountain biking enthusiasts centre stage; Mount Majura Vineyard offers an introduction to winegrowing, while Majura Valley Farm adds other facets with a sunflower maze, a farm shop and its history as a working farm. This lets you plan your trip around what appeals to you most: active experiences on a bike, insights into winegrowing or agricultural discoveries.

Mountain biking on the Majura Pines Trails

The Majura Pines offer mountain biking trails ranging from beginner routes to intermediate and advanced cross-country and downhill trails. There are also 15 kilometres of singletrack trails. The different categories give you a clear guide when planning your days on the bike: you can explore the beginner routes or look specifically at the intermediate and advanced options. Cross-country and downhill are also explicitly part of the offering. For mountain biking enthusiasts, Majura is a destination where not only the activity itself, but also the type of riding you prefer, can shape your travel plans.

Winegrowing and tasting

Mount Majura Vineyard is located at 88 Lime Kiln Road in Majura. The winery offers self-guided vineyard tours, where participants can learn more about winegrowing. The Cellar Door also offers a seated tasting. A self-guided tour and a seated tasting are two different experiences to consider when planning your trip.

Sunflower maze and farm history

In March, visitors can explore agriculture up close at Majura Valley Farm through its interactive sunflower maze. The maze combines time outdoors with an activity in which agriculture is not just a theme, but part of the experience. If you’re travelling in March, you can consider this seasonal offering as a special reason to visit. Majura Valley Farm offers a very different focus from the trails or winery: here, the maze and the direct connection to agriculture take centre stage.

Majura Valley Farm also has a farm shop, selling fresh produce straight from the farm as well as local goods. This is another way to explore agricultural products and goods from the region. Majura Valley Farm is also located on Majura House, the oldest continuously operating farm in the Australian Capital Territory. This historical distinction gives the place added significance: alongside the maze and farm shop, the farm’s continued operation is also part of its story.
