Bike the Vines Full day tourbook

Runs Daily - 9.30am to 3.30pm

Our mission is to make your day as enjoyable as possible. We will pick you up from your accommodation in the morning and take you to our starting point.  After ensuring that you are set up with bikes and helmets we set off for a relaxing day of touring the local wineries. The pace is leisurely and the terrain is gentle, ensuring easy riding. The off road riding through the vineyards and along the stop-banks is across hard packed earth covered with grass or gravel and is easy to bike by all skill levels.
Along the way we visit:

• Grove Mill Winery -  The first carboNZero winery in the world. They not only have a great selection of wines but also a stunning wetland which has become a haven for native bird life as well as one of the region's best contemporary art galleries
• Seresin Estate - an organic winery and olive oil producer owned by renowned NZ cinematographer Michael Seresin
• Wairau River Winery where we enjoy a long slow lunch in their award-winning restaurant
• Bladen Winery  - a small boutique family run winery.
