Guided Morning, Self-Guided Afternoon in Marlborough

This full-day Marlborough bike wine tour gives you the best of both worlds: a guided winery experience in the morning and the freedom to explore at your own pace in the afternoon. With pick-up from Blenheim or Renwick accommodation, quality bikes, safety gear and a friendly local guide, it’s an easy and relaxed way to enjoy the Marlborough wine region.

Your morning includes visits to three favourite wineries, with tasting fees included and your guide sharing stories about the region, local wine styles and the landscapes around you. Cycle along quiet country roads, vineyard trails and river stop-banks, with views of the Richmond Range, Wither Hills and Wairau River along the way.

After your guided morning ride, enjoy a grazing platter featuring local cheeses, charcuterie and regional accompaniments. Your guide will then talk you through a customised wine map, with recommendations for lunch stops, wineries to visit, routes to ride and wines to try during your self-guided afternoon.

This tour is ideal for travellers who want local insight without being guided all day. The pace is leisurely, the terrain is gentle, and the group size is limited to eight people for a personal experience. E-bike upgrades are available for an additional charge.
