Our Story

In a nutshell....Wine Tours By Bike has been in the business of hiring bikes for over 22 years and was the first bike hire company to start operating here in Marlborough. It was originally based in Blenheim, but being a good 1 hour bike ride from the majority of cellar doors, folk found the journey just too far (both there and back) and the fast Statehighway roads that they had to ride on to get out to Renwick not in the least bit pleasurable. When the business came up for sale 8 years ago, we knew right from the start that the best place to bring it to was out to our property here in Renwick as one of the beautiful things about it is that we are surrounded by quiet roads and are right in the heart of the cellar doors. So, we put in an offer, and to our great excitement, it was accepted :-) We were now the proud owners of 25 old bikes!!

Since then, the business has gone from strength to strength and we are loving every minute of it. One of the first things we did was to replace “said 25 old bikes”and we now have upwards of 100+ to offer from single bikes, tandems, trikes, 4 wheeled bikes, tag-alongs, kids bikes and trailers. We then started working closely with the local council to get more bike paths put in place, and with the support of a number of amazing cellar doors and land owners coming on board, more have since followed and there will be more to come which is absolutely fantastic for everyone.

Our bike hire is all about offering you the chance to take a self-guided/unguided cruise around Renwicks’ beautiful cellar doors, many of whom are amazingly close not only to us but also each other (between 5-10 minutes gentle biking apart). Being in the middle of a valley, the roads to each of the cellar doors are as flat as a pancake and they are so easy to find so the bikes can be enjoyed by young and old alike, whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, a family or in a group. You could be at your first cellar door within 2 MINUTES of leaving our front gate.

With the freedom to choose the cellar doors you want to visit based on how far you want to bike, where you fancy stopping for lunch, what wines you love, and do it all without worrying that you have to keep up with others, your time on the bikes is truly your own. You don’t need to book appointments to visit any of the cellar doors ahead of time (unless you are part of a big group of over 8 people, and in that case, we can help put an itinerary together for you so that you know you will be looked after at each place you visit:-), and we will be there at the start to give you heaps of friendly advice, recommendations and ideas to help make your time on the bikes the best it can be.
