Grand Traverse Bike Tours

Join us for this truly unique wine country experience. Roll down the paved Leelanau Trail to boutique wineries along the way. We will pick up your wine and bring you lunch to enjoy overlooking the vineyards.

On this tour you will casually roll down the Leelanau Trail making detours to the wineries. The tour starts and stops from our shop in Suttons Bay. The tour is self-guided which allows you to travel at your own pace, stop to soak in the scenery or stay a little longer at your favorite winery. The trail is easy to follow and we help plan your route to the wineries of your choice. We are available to support you throughout the day, whether we're needed or not. We provide service for flat tires, mechanical failures, losing your way, severe weather rescue, transporting wine purchases and just about anything else that may come up. Think of us as a distant command center helping you to pursue your own perfect day. Best of all we deliver a catered deli box lunch to a winery, so you can settle in for your own private picnic overlooking the vineyards.

If you are looking for an exceptional experience in wine country but want the flexibility of being on your own, our Leelanau Wine Trail Bike Tour is perfect for you. Enjoy the conveniences of our support and explore the vineyards at your own pace.

Join us for a rare opportunity to ride through the vines! Covering 5-7 miles of rolling dirt roads and single track trails, your guide will lead you by mountain bike through Forty-Five North Winery’s picturesque vineyard landscapes. Rolling through the vines you will be able to witness the grapes ripening first hand as well as experience stunning views of their vineyards and the surrounding orchards.

From vines to wines. Start the day by learning the different stages of the vineyard season, from bud brake to harvest. See the steps that go into their award wining wines. Roll back to get an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Forty-Five North's Winery. Pick, taste and savor your favorite wines. Finally, conclude the day with a delicious, catered picnic lunch while over looking a spectacular view of the vineyards.

It’s not everyday a winery open’s up their doors to biking, but the Forty-Five North property is so beautiful they can't help but share it with you. This is truly a special adventure that is not to be missed!

Casual pace cycling tour. The terrain is rolling hills on 2 track and single track mountain bike trails and a little pavement.

Traverse City is quickly becoming the micro-brew capital of Michigan, with over 10 breweries downtown plus locally grown hops. Come taste the area's distinct flavors. There is no better way to experience the breweries but by bike. We hand pick our favorite breweries and our guides lead you through the side streets of Traverse City's quaint downtown and behind the scenes at the area's best brew houses. 

All of our tour guides possess threefold expertise in beer, cycling and local insight. These guides will lead you over carefully selected side roads and trails to our favorite breweries. What's more, you will be provided with a food pairing to go along with each brewery tasting.

We move at a casual pace, using the freedom of bicycles to explore Traverse City's quaint downtown. If it's been a while since you last rode, not to worry, our tour guides will happily accommodate your needs. Look forward to a safe, relaxing and most of all memorable day.

Frequent stops and the laid-back pace put the emphasis on enjoying the day as much as the boutique breweries along the way. On our tours, you’ll cycle an average of 2-3 miles between brewery visits over flat terrain.
