Marlborough Wine Tours By Bike

What better way to see the Marlborough wine region than by bike

“A very warm welcome from Lorelle & Greg at Wine Tours by Bike”

No 1 for Bike Hire in Marlborough and the perfect way to explore, discover, taste and

enjoy in all that Marlborough’s cellar doors have to offer.

“This is self-guided biking at its best!

Unleash the wine lover in you with a Marlborough bike tour! Based in the heart of Renwick, we offer an unforgettable experience exploring the region’s world-class wineries.

Our self-guided bike tours are perfect for everyone, from solo adventurers to groups.

Discover a network of charming cellar doors, just a leisurely bike ride apart, connected by scenic paths.

Our expert local knowledge, detailed maps, and support ensure a carefree adventure.

Taste your way through Marlborough’s finest wines, savor delicious local cuisine, and soak up the stunning scenery.

Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a casual rider, our tours offer the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.

Cycling distances between cellar doors can be as little as 5-10 minutes biking apart, with a good number easily reached via flat roads and along safe bike-paths, making it an activity that can be enjoyed whether you are a solo traveller, a couple, family or group, young or old, no matter your fitness level.

Your first tasting could be within 2 minutes of getting on your bike!

Our bike hire is self-guided as we like you to have the freedom to do your own thing, go at your own pace and not worry about having to keep up with others.

Even if there are folk starting at the same time as you, you get to decide how far you want to bike, which cellar doors you would like to visit and where you fancy stopping for lunch.

We will be on hand at the start to pass on our local knowledge, offer suggestions and updates on opening and closing times, show you where the bike paths are and the best routes to get around, who offers food and where there are great spots for a picnic lunch, then armed with one of our detailed cellar door maps you can head off to start your adventure.

Our emergency backup service is also always on standby if you need us at all whilst you are out on the bikes, so if you get a puncture, or the chain falls off, all you need to do is call us and we will come to look after you.
