Why Choose the New Forest Food & Beer Safari?
The New Forest Food & Beer Safari is a brilliant blend of adventurous e-biking, beautiful scenery and relaxed local flavour.
You’ll ride a scenic route along the Solent coastline, through salt marshes and lagoons, into the Georgian market town of Lymington, and onwards through New Forest woodland trails to a destination well worth the journey — a leading artisan microbrewery set within a beautifully restored former pig farm and barn.
At the brewery, settle into a fully covered, heated beer tent and enjoy a generous tasting board of popular local craft beers. Browse the on-site brewery shop, then take your time riding back through the forest at leisure.
It’s a sociable, flexible experience that brings together coastal views, forest riding, independent producers and proper New Forest character — all in one rewarding day out.

What does my experience day look like?
Your self-guided adventure begins at Jaunt-E-Bikes HQ in Milford on Sea, where you’ll collect your e-bike and receive your route guidance.
From here, follow a beautifully curated route along miles of coastal paths, salt marshes and lagoons — a haven for birdlife and big-sky views. Pause to admire sweeping panoramas across the Solent towards the Isle of Wight and The Needles, before rolling into Lymington, where you’re free to browse independent shops, boutiques and eateries.
Continue onward into the New Forest woodland, keeping an eye out for the famous free-roaming ponies, before arriving at the brewery. After your tasting and time to explore the shop, enjoy a relaxed ride back through forest and coastline at your own pace.
This is a self-guided, flexible experience — stop when you like, explore freely and enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
