Great time biking and tasting!

Our biking guides and tastings at the wineries were perfect! Nice to have a van following in case anyone tired or tasted too much. Loved the wineries and the people who run them, a great selection and so easy to bike to. Highly recommend this for adults who enjoy wines and being outdoors. This was an excursion for us on a cruise.

Cycling wine Marlborough country

Enjoyed a wonderful day on the bike cycling the back lanes and country roads to 5 or so wineries. Many lunch options and/or places to sit down and soak up the views, the wine and enjoy local cheese plates. Pick-up and drop off to Blenheim motel allowed for ample sampling to take place plus suggestions and tour map made for a relaxing day. Great way to see the area and taste the produce.

Absolutely brilliant!

We did the morning guided bike tour with Rob as our guide. Thankfully the weather was perfect for cycling. We covered around 8km and visited 3 vineyards. Rob gave us lots of great information along the way about the topography, history of wine growing in the area, and wine production. It was such a novel way to tour the area and visit the Cellar Doors. Highly recommended

Happy Bikers

I have put six groups through the Explore bike riding wine tours, so about 12 people, and everyone - every single person - has come back invigorated and smiling.

Amazing 5 stars!!!

Hospitality of Kat and Roo was outstanding. From the booking right through to drop off - faultless. Would go back in a heartbeat and do it all again. Great experience all round. ( just did the half day self guided e bike wine tour).

A beautiful bike ride and very good wines!

Our guide Anne was really nice and friendly, and made us have a great time. She was very careful about our safety, especially when crossing roads. We stopped (among others) at the Framingham and White Heaven estate, and their wines were fabulous!! We had visited 3 estates in the morning, and in the end it was enough to discover the region and taste the wines.
