Cycle quiet roads and bike paths between Marlborough wineries with flexible tastings, wine panniers, shuttle service, and local advice.
“Just what we were looking for! We should have done a better job of pre-planning and pre booking. But that was on us. Read the pre-trip info and do a little research to maximize the day.”
Cycle Marlborough’s flat wine country at your own pace, visiting up to 12 nearby wineries with bikes, maps, hotel transfers, and local tips.
“Great staff and prompt pick up from hotel. The bikes were very comfortable, maps provided and safety briefing good. It was relatively flat cycling over 25km to visit 4 fsmily run vineyards which were all different. A fantastic way to spend a day. Would recommend Hunters charcuterie board ....delicious. Visited Hunters, Allen Scott, Gibson Bridge and Bladen.”
Ride from Arrowtown to Gibbston wineries by bike, with mountain views, cellar doors, shuttle transfers, and an optional e-bike.
“George was an amazing driver and such a nice guy. I was so thankful he brought an extra e bike which I should have ordered in advance. Saved me. The ride through the mountains and beside the amazing blue river was spectacular. While I am not a wine drinker per se, I so enjoyed this trip and would highly recommend it!!”
Cycle Marlborough’s flat vineyard roads on a self-guided wine tour with hotel pickup, bike hire, local tips, bottle delivery, and flexible winery stops.
“Picked up at our motel, we enjoyed many hours of self-guided fun. Brought back to motel. What’s not to like? The e-bikes were on top shape and gave us a lot more range than traditional bikes.”
Pick a surface, a gradient or a reason to stop.
