Discover Majura: mountain biking, winemaking and farming history

Local highlights range from mountain bike trails in Majura Pines and winemaking at Mount Majura Vineyard to a seasonal farm experience at Majura Valley Farm. These activities cater to different interests: riding styles and difficulty levels, a self-guided tour with an educational focus, or a visit in March. These distinctions can help you decide whether Majura suits your planned stay.

Mountain biking in Majura Pines

Majura Pines offers mountain bike trails ranging from beginner routes to intermediate and advanced cross-country and downhill trails. Majura Pines also has 15 kilometres of singletrack trails for mountain biking enthusiasts. The difficulty levels and riding styles can help you decide what to focus on when planning your trip; the distance indicates the extent of the singletrack offering. These details answer two different questions for your planning: What kind of mountain biking interests you, and how much singletrack do you want to take into account? This lets you choose the mountain biking focus of your trip based on specific trail features.

Winemaking at Mount Majura Vineyard

Mount Majura Vineyard is located at 88 Lime Kiln Road in Majura. The winery offers self-guided vineyard tours where you can learn more about winemaking. The Cellar Door also offers a seated tasting. These are different formats to suit your interests: on the tour, you explore the vineyards independently and learn about winemaking; the tasting takes place while seated. If you are interested in winemaking, you can plan your visit around whether you prefer the educational tour, the tasting, or both.

Farming and history at Majura Valley Farm

Majura Valley Farm has a specific time frame to consider: in March, visitors can explore farming up close in the interactive sunflower maze. As the maze is seasonal, check the dates for the year before your trip. The farm shop offers fresh produce straight from the farm and local goods. This gives visitors interested in agriculture two different things to explore: the interactive experience in March and the farm shop. Majura Valley Farm is located on Majura House, the oldest continuously operating farm in the Australian Capital Territory. This historical connection belongs to Majura House.
