Food, Wine and Beer Tours
Designed for Cruise Guests, Packed with Flavour
This excursion is tailored for cruise ship schedules, ensuring you're picked up in Picton and returned to your ship on time after a day of indulgence and scenic cycling. You'll begin with a warm welcome and briefing before setting off on a route through vineyard-lined country roads framed by Marlborough’s striking mountains. The terrain is gentle, making it suitable for all fitness levels.
As a sweet finale, you’ll visit a local chocolate shop before your return transfer—just in time for the cruise shuttle. Whether you're a wine lover or simply curious, this bike adventure blends fun, flavour and flexibility. The Self-Guided Cycle Wine Cruise Excursion is a must-do for guests wanting a relaxed yet rewarding taste of New Zealand wine country.
