Experience Details

A very warm welcome from Lorelle, Greg & their team.

“This is self-guided biking at its best & probably the most fun you'll have on a bike!”

We are located at heart of Renwick, surrounded by bike paths & quiet roads plus 14 Cellar Doors who are as little as 5-10 minutes biking apart.

We offer 2 bike hire time slots - 10am-4pm or 11am-5pm & includes a free shuttle service if you are staying within 15km of our base in Renwick (check Google) .

Free parking if you drive yourselves to our base.

Our bikes are “all about cruising” & come with comfy seats, a basket, dedicated wine panniers for 4 wine bottles & Hi-Vis Helmet.

This is bike hire with extras… friendly up-to-date advice, tools to navigate your day, a detailed cellar door map, a video on the cellar doors to help you decide who you would like to visit, a full emergency backup service if you need help, free collection of wines.

A day made for relaxing in beanbags, nibbling on cheese platters, and tasting beautiful wines.

What You’ll Experience

A very warm welcome from Lorelle, Greg and the team here at Wine Tours by Bike Your day in a nutshell... We offer 2 bike hire timeslots.... 10.00am-4.00pm with a shuttle pickup from your accommodation at 9.30am or 11.00am-5.00pm with the shuttle pickup from your accommodation at 10.30am. The shuttle service is offered if your accommodation is in Blenheim within 15km of our base (our address is 33 Blicks Road, Renwick, so if in doubt, please look on Google before booking or contact us directly to double check). On arrival at our base you will get the chance to try out the bikes to find one that suits you. You will be given your own detailed cellar door map to keep to refer to during the day and the team will talk you through this to help get you orientated with the area. There is then a short safety briefing and a video that runs through all of the cellar doors that has up-to-date information on what wines they offer, their tasting charges, if they have food available and their opening/closing times. The team will be there at all times to help you with any questions you may have, and offer advice and ideas on routes and where you might like go. You will be fitted with a hi-vis helmet and given a lanyard to pop around your neck (this has our contact details on it and a reminder of what time your bike hire finishes), then you are free to go and visit your chosen cellar doors and do so all at your own pace. If you need us for anything whilst you are out, the team are but a phone call away. Once your time on the bikes is finished, you return to our base and our shuttle will be waiting here to take you back to your accommodation again. If on our 10.00am-4.00pm timeslot, our shuttle should have you home safe and sound by 4.30pm. If on our 11.00am-5.00pm timeslot, our shuttle should have you home safe and sound by 5.30pm. You may also bring yourselves directly to our base if you would prefer - we have plenty of free parking available for you. The legal alcohol drinking age is 18 years old. Please remember to bring either an International Passport ID , or a NZ Drivers License if you are aged between 18-25 years old. (The cellar doors can only legally accept these as forms of ID) Lunch Ideas Most of the cellar doors offer cheese/mixed platters and you do not need to book in to get one of these ahead of time - you can just order one when you arrive there to have alongside your tastings. However, if you would prefer something a little more substantial, these are the restaurant options that are within biking distance and to be on the safe-side, we would recommend that you book at table before the day of your bike hire. The Fancy Cow - 25 minutes biking from our base (Open 5 days, closed on Monday & Tuesday) Allan Scott - 40 minutes biking from our base – bookings essential (Open 7 days a week) Vines Village Café - 20 minutes biking from our base (Open 7 days a week). If you have any dietary requirements, please let us know as we are more than happy to recommend the restaurant/s that we feel will be the best at catering for you. Note: Please do not book lunch at Wither Hills, Saint Clair’s, Harvest Restaurant or the Wine Kitchen as they are all too far away and therefore not accessible on our bikes - best visited by car :-) CELLAR DOORS There is no need for you to book in ahead of time to visit any of the cellar doors that surround us here in Renwick. You will have upwards of 12+ to choose from who are between 5-20 minutes biking from our place and you can simply turn up and they will do a tasting with you. The ONLY cellar doors that do require bookings are: *Hans Herzog* - they are a 25-minute bike ride from our base, so if you want to go there, the ideal times to book would be between 12 Noon and 2pm. *Cloudy Bay* – they are a 40-minute bike ride from our base, so if you want to go there, the ideal times to book would be between 12 Noon and 1pm. Alternatively, maybe you can visit them by car the next day. *Framingham Wines* - they are a 7-minute bike ride from our base All 3 cellar doors have a booking form on their website that you will need to complete.
