8 & 9. Fancy yourself as a good shot? Visit Cleveland Winery in Lancefield for two unique and quirky activities. They offer a 1-hour clay pigeon/archery course (using modified shotguns that only shoot harmless infrared lasers) or a 1-hour Segway Winery Tour. Our advice is not to do the archery on the segway.  clevelandwinery.com.au
