cycle trip to the local vineyards


Enjoy a day on a bicycle riding Nelsons quiet town or country roads and cycleways and explore wineries, country pubs, historic churchyards and historic houses, ceramic studios, gardens and beaches. From our base 15 minutes south of Nelson, you can take a freedom hire on one of our comfortable bikes and set off and return at your own pace, or choose one of our country rides and we'll transport you to the start and meet you again at the end. Our country rides are very gentle, with no big hills (most routes are completely flat) and end at a country pub. Our custom-designed maps, which hang off your handlebars, are easy to follow so you can ride self-guided at your own pace. And while all the routes include cafes or pubs, if you prefer, pop your lunch into the box on the back and we'll provide the blanket for your picnic among the grapevines. We've made it easy for you to experience Nelsons' memorable scenery the gentle way - by bike.
