What our visitors are saying:

  • My first wine tasting experience, and I couldn’t think of a better introduction! We went as a small group of friends, and despite the patchy rain and wind we had a phenomenal time. Nice bikes and even nicer people, I highly recommend this method of exploring the area. Forrest – Massachusetts, USA
  • An awesome experience. One of the best days of the holiday and it was my third time! Beautiful scenery, friendly people and great wine. Thoroughly recommended. Phil – Wellington
  • The Wine tour by Bike was recommended to me by a friend, I am so glad I took their advice.I found Nigel to be very friendly and he was also very informative of the wineries that we decided to visit on the planned route. Although it was a bit windy it didn’t ruin the experience, it was comforting to know that if we had any problems with the bikes Nigel would have been on hand to help. This is a great way to visit wineries, I have been on bus tours but this is much more fun and you get to enjoy the fabulous scenery. A fantastic time was had by all. Thanks Nigel. Simon – Essex – UK
  • Cycling round drinking wine all day. It’s hard to go wrong with an activity like this and with great advice from Nigel we both had a great day and bought far more wine than we planned. I loved my bike, especially the comfy saddle and enjoyed staying at Argrove Lodge, which is handily situated 5 minutes from the first vineyard. Thanks to Nigel and Helen for looking after us so well. – Jolanda & Anthony – Christchurch, NZ
  • My new favorite way to go wine tasting! Highlights: Beautiful scenery, well-maintained bikes, flat terrain, pick-up and drop-off available. Nigel was awesome — provided us with a great route and all of his recommendations were stellar. Tip: DO THE FULL DAY! We were able to visit 6 wineries and have a leisurely lunch w/out feeling rushed at all. One of top 3 favorite days on a 3 week vacation! Thanks again Nigel! – Kristen
  • Thanks for a wonderful half day touring wineries by bike.  Our daughter did this with her sister in January and raved about it so much that we had to try it out for ourselves. (with our daughter who wanted to do it again!) Highly recommend.  The Bryants – Kingston, Canada
  • A marvelous way to see a lovely part of the country, to get out and really feel you are in New Zealand as well as try some good wine en route Very professional yet totally laid back operation  Definitely a must do when you are in the region  Plus you really don’t need to be fit or an experienced cyclist – a very easy cycle – Caroline & David
  • Spent a few hours on a very windy day last December touring a few wineries and had a great time. Fantastic way to see the region and sample some great wines. Nigel was terrific. Nice guy. Well worth it. – Wayne – USA
  • A highlight of our recent NZ tour! and to think we almost missed it – we considered not going because of the rain, but had the most fantastic and most memorable experience(despite the weather) we highly recommend this tour and are planning to do it again when we return next year. GREAT FUN! Thanks Nigel. – Linda – Bradford On Avon, England
  • I’ve been meaning to write a review as we had a totally awesome day on the bikes and have some GREAT photos to remember it by. The hospitality in the area was fabulous too. We’ve been recommending you to everyone – your location & pick up/drop off service is superb – 7kms out of town in a VAN (no long bike ride home at the end of the day sampling Marlborough’s finest!). We’ll be back! – Renee and Brian – Wellington
  • A Fantastic day, Nigel gave us lots of information and recommended some great vineyards to visit, even helping us with getting a couple of boxes shipped back to the uk. Will definately be on our list of things to do again next trip. Tanya & Joost – UK

  • Just wanted to say thanks so much for a great day on ‘Wine Tours By Bike’ We have always known about the wonderful Marlborough wines, but didn’t realise the area was so full of great little surprise boutique wineries as well. And the scenery is just lovely. We are still enjoying our purchases, and your bikes were definitely the best way to see the beautiful Marlborough wine region. I’ve told everyone about your company, as a must do for when they visit the south island! – Alice – Sydney
