5Super fun experience
What a fantastic experience from start to finish. Lorelle was very friendly and knowledgeable. Biking was easy and fun. Definitely a great way to visit the vineyards! Highly recommend!

Fantastic way to spend a day in wine country! Shuttle is a great way to make this active and fun day very convenient on vacation :)
5Excellent biking and wine tasting experience in Marlborough
Fantastic way to see some of the wineries in the Marlborough area. From start to finish the day was excellent. Communication and organisation was very good. Picked up by Greg at our accommodation at the agreed time - dropped in Renwick - chose a suitable (well maintained) bike - got a safety briefing- shown a map of the area - given guidance/tips for the day then off we went. The routes are flat and mainly cycle path or minor roads so little or no interaction with traffic which made the day very relaxed. We got round 3 wineries for tastings and stopped at another for lunch - the pace of cycling required was leisurely so we had no time pressure at all. On completion of the day we dropped the bikes back in Renwick and Greg took us back to our accommodation in Blenheim. The weather was great and this was one of the best experiences we had on our trip to New Zealand. Raymond & Karen Glasgow, Scotland 🏴
5Awesome!
Riding a bike through the Marlborough vineyards was a sort of bucket list item for me and Wine by Bike helped make it happen! Lorelle gave us a detailed map with lots of guidance and suggestions. Without her I wouldn’t have known about the flood bank which had great views of the river and the valley! I probably could have gotten any old bike and rode around for less money, but the support and guidance was priceless! Shout out to Hans Herzog, The Vine Cafe, and Nautilus!
5Wine tour on a bike
Fab day, well organised, good bikes. Picked up from our house by Lorelle & given bikes for our sizes. Gave us a map with vineyards on. We did wine tasting & had an amazing lunch at Alan Scott’s! When we bought wine at each vineyard we told them our tour group & it was picked up for us & taken to the cycle tour centre for us to collect at the end of the day. Greg then gave us a lift back home. They are a lovely, fun welcoming couple. Thoroughly recommend.
5Great experience on the wine trail
Such a great experience! Collected from accommodation (highly recommend the walnut block cabins), taken to get a safety briefing and collect bikes. A few detailed instructions to keep us safe, and we were off. Lovely, easy ride to a selection of fantastic vineyard cellar doors and restaurants. Back to drop off bikes, and then taken by clean, spacious van back to our accommodation. Highly recommend!

About Blenheim

Blenheim sits on the flat Wairau Plain at the top of the South Island, in the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand's largest wine region.
