Pedal & Picnic is a thoughtfully designed collaboration between Tasty Road Trips and Heron Head Bikes — two experience-driven businesses brought together by a shared passion for local discovery, cycling, and the beauty of the Grand River.
Set in the heart of Brantford, this curated day trip invites you to slow down and explore the region in a way that feels both active and indulgent.
Your experience begins with a professionally fitted bike rental, ensuring comfort and ease as you set out on a leisurely 1.5-hour ride along the Grand Trails. Winding alongside the Grand River, this scenic route offers moments to pause, take in points of interest, and connect with the rich history that flows through this landscape.
After your ride, the experience shifts from movement to relaxation.
Guests will collect a beautifully prepared picnic for two and make their way to a “secret” heritage park location — a quiet, picturesque setting designed for you to unwind, savour, and simply enjoy the moment.
Once you’ve recharged, the day continues with a visit to the Glenhyrst Art Gallery, one of Brantford’s most treasured cultural destinations. Here, art, gardens, and river views come together to round out the experience.
Throughout your time in Brantford, you’ll also have the opportunity to explore a curated selection of must-visit local shops and heritage sites, adding even more depth to your day.
