Cruise Excursion – Self Guided Biking Wine Tour

Discover the region and explore wineries all day long at your own pace!

The Unguided Full Day Biking Wine Tour caters to those who want to go at it alone for the day – ideal for the independent traveler, groups or families with children as they are able to set their own day plan based on the needs of the family.

Everything is organised for you! Pick up and drop off from the Picton I-site, set you up with bikes, helmets, maps, our recommendations and an option to book you in for lunch at a winery restaurant, $15 Vines Village voucher to spend at a range of businesses within The Vines Village including Whitehaven wine tasting, Cheese & Cheers Whisky room, cafe and shops. We also offer wine collection from the cellar doors through out day so you don’t have to carry it on the bike and emergency on call pick up if required.

Discover the beauty of Marlborough your way. Rent a bike from us and enjoy your own self-guided wine tour. We’ll set you up with quality equipment and send you on your way with all the recommendations, tips and hints you need to craft your own unforgettable Marlborough wine adventure.
