Collect your bike between 10am and 12pm from our base in Ash Ridge Wines’ vineyard. Then, clip on your helmet, hop into the saddle and peddle through the New Zealand countryside to begin your independent cycling tour.
With your winery map to hand, follow flat, winding routes through the heart of the Hawke’s Bay wine region. Along the way, visit the wineries that appeal to you and discover the diverse range of wines with a wine tasting (own expense).
Perhaps visit wineries* such as Paritua Vineyard, Sileni Wines, Alpha Domus, Oak Estate, Ash Ridge Wines, Trinity Hill Unison Vineyard or Stonecroft. Depending on how many wineries you visit
- and how long you stay - your tour will likely take between four and six hours. You can enjoy a quick lunch (own expense) overlooking vines at Sileni WInes, Ash Ridge, Trinity Hill, Unison or Oak Estate before meandering onto the next winery.
With roadside support to help if you have any difficulties
- such as a flat tyre - and to collect any wine that you purchase from the wineries (own expense), you’re free to relax and enjoy your day.
At the end of your ride, return your bike to your starting point to bring your tour to an end.
*Not all wineries are open every week day. All are open on weekends.

Our store, nestled in the midst of a vineyard and merely 200m away from the first winery, offers you a selection of wineries to explore. Wander through the area on specially designed cycling paths - the terrain is flat, making the ride quite straightforward. Drop by one or more of the wineries.
