Discover the best of Marlborough wine country with a full-day cycling adventure that blends the insights of a guided tour with the freedom to explore at your own pace. After a convenient pick-up from your Blenheim or Renwick accommodation, you’ll be fitted with a quality bike and meet your local guide before setting off along quiet country roads, vineyard trails, and scenic river stop-banks. As you ride through one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wine regions, enjoy sweeping views of the Richmond Range, Wither Hills, Wairau River, and rows of world-famous vineyards.
The morning is spent visiting three boutique wineries, where you’ll enjoy included cellar door tastings while learning about Marlborough’s rich winemaking heritage, local history, and the unique conditions that produce its renowned wines. Midway through the day, relax over a delicious grazing platter featuring local cheeses, charcuterie, and regional accompaniments before your guide shares an easy-to-follow map, personalised winery recommendations, and the best cycling routes for the afternoon. From there, the day is yours to enjoy—visit more cellar doors, linger over lunch, or simply soak up the peaceful countryside at your own pace. With gentle terrain, a relaxed riding pace, and optional e-bikes available, this experience is suitable for riders of all abilities. Even if the weather changes, the morning tour seamlessly converts to a driving wine tour, ensuring the experience goes ahead.
Combining expert local knowledge with the flexibility of independent exploration, this small-group experience offers a more personal way to discover Marlborough. Thoughtful touches such as accommodation transfers, wine collection service for purchased bottles, and carefully curated cycling routes allow you to focus on the scenery, the wines, and the journey itself. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or travelling as a couple, it’s an unforgettable way to experience the flavours, landscapes, and relaxed charm that make Marlborough one of New Zealand’s premier wine destinations.
