The tour was truly memorable. Cycling through beautiful countryside, stopping to sample wonderful wines with a knowledgeable, entertaining and empathetic guide (Doug) was a wonderful experience!
The bike tour of wine country is the way to go!

We had fun biking and sampling wine at 3 wineries. Our favorite was Forrest where we also had a wonderful lunch. The group size was a bit large for biking (20) was expecting 10-12. Difficult to hear the winery staff describing wines as the tasting venues were not designed for such large groups. Reduced score because of group size.
Fantastic team, great experience

Andy and the team were absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great when we were there but Andy made contact to talk through plans A, B, and C, making recommendations and helping with bookings. The whole team worked hard to make it an amazing day and even though we couldn't bike we still had an amazing time taking in the wineries

We were picked up by Andy at our apartments and taken a short journey to to collect our bikes and start the wine tour. Andy was a ray of sunshine and set the tone for the rest of the day. Our guide, Fenella, was fantastic, really knowledgeable and made the whole experience an absolute pleasure. We visited six vineyards in total and each was just a short ride. The hospitality from each establishment was first class and the wines were lush. Our favourite was Forrest, a small family run business, where we met Lizzie who went through the history and background of all of the wines. We'd highly recommend this tour and loved every minute.
Great Day in Wind Country

I did the full day bike tour and it could not have been more perfect. Several had signed up that day, so they split us into two groups--one of 4 and ours of 3. Our guide, Fenella, was fabulous and had actually grown up in the wine business. We visited 6 wineries and sampled several wonderful wines at each, with just enough (flat) biking between to stay refreshed. Booking, pick up in Blenheim and delivery back were seamless. I can't recommend this enough.

This tour was a load of fun. Andy, our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to a few medium-sized vineyards in Marlborough which made the trip very special - we got to meet some of the owners, as well as taste wine that isn't available in the US, which differentiated this from the visits we might have made on our own. There are bike paths off the main road so it was a leisurely ride among the fields and lunch was superb. I highly recommend this tour!
