Coastal Wine Cycles

We are incredibly fortunate to have teamed up with Simon Nash, Master of Wines to create hosted wine (& food!) cycle tours. Either Simon himself, or one of our local wine experts will take you and your friends on a personalised tour to a selection of wineries of your choice by bike. Our guides will tailor the tour to your requirements and wine knowledge. We love to take out absolute wine amateurs through to wine enthusiasts. You can select from 2-4 wineries for exclusive tastings with food matched. We highly recommend booking this experience during the week to get access to the wine-makers as well! Prices start from $145pp depending on group size and number of stops.

Contact us to find out more! We need a minimum of 2 weeks notice to coordinate these specialised tours.

We’ve cycled far, wide, up, and down, and have narrowed these experiences down to three self-guided great routes.

Coastal Dash - 6 to 10 kilometres (your call) Straight into it. Out our door, around the corner and cycle up the coastal pathway towards Cape Kidnappers. Along the way calling into the various wineries, cellar doors, art galleries, gift shops and cafés. Very easy cycling, and a very easy way to use an afternoon.

The Coast & River Loop - 15 kilometres This is our favourite. Start along the coastal pathway, through the seaside village of Haumoana, check out the Tukituki lagoon with its surfers and fishermen, then up the Tukituki River, past the vineyards, orchards, farms, and then into the back of Te Awanga for some serious lunching.

Upstream Explorer - 25 kilometres For the more energetic types, this is an awesome way to see our surroundings. Start along the coastal pathway, through the seaside village of Haumoana, check out the Tukituki lagoon with its surfers and fishermen, then up the Tukituki River, past the vineyards, orchards, farms following the river up to Havelock North. Here you will be on the fringe of the village, where there are great wineries, cellar doors and local food producers. Afterwards cruise back to Te Awanga for some well deserved lunching (if you haven't already indulged here!).

Fleetwood Mac Route (go your own way) If you want to go your own way, no problem we’ll give you a map and a pat on the back.

We have classic beach cruiser bikes from California in Haumoana - Te Awanga, Hawke’s Bay. They have wide comfortable seats, swept back handlebars, baskets, bells, and oversize tires….perfect for relaxed cycling.
