What You’ll Experience

Hop on the Great Taste Trail right beside our depot at Nelson Airport after we have briefed you, for this self-guided easy cycle ride all on flat, off-road cycle path to 3 local craft breweries all within very easy reach. The total loop ride will be maximum 20 km. Our comprehensive map and guide notes will guide you as you ride. If you enjoy craft beer, this is a great ride for you. The timing of this tour is governed by opening hours of the breweries (earliest 11am) so there is time, if you want, to have a leisurely start say 1030am, or you can take an opportunity to fit in other interesting Tastes of the Great Taste Trail such as famous Pics Peanut Butter where you can do a free tour (must be pre-booked and we can book for you at either 10am or 11.30am). An optional 60 minute brewery tour is available at your first brewery for $25 from 11 am onwards. This does also need to be booked in advance and we can book that for you too. All the breweries visited serve great food so you won't go hungry. We will provide you with a voucher for one beer or cider to round off your day at your last beachside brew pub. Finish your ride back where you started at our depot at Nelson Airport.
