A wonderful day of biking and wine tasting - We had a wonderful bike tour of the wineries at our own pace. They picked us up at our hotel in Blenheim, drove us to start point where we were given bikes and helmets and a map of the wineries. It was annoying that there were no kickstands on the 2 bikes we got (#26 & 44). While I recognized some of the large labels on the route from drinking them at home, we opted to go to the smaller ones for tastings. Forest Winery, a family owned winery was a standout for their hospitality and the wines were fabulous. (Hans Herzog not so much). We did quite a ride around and through the vineyards and made it back just in time to catch the bus (it can get quite windy biking through the vineyards) and we went against the the wind and after doing the tastings.

Very fun day out with great wine! - Really fun experience! We got picked up from Blenheim and driven to the vineyard area, and returned at the end of the day. We were given a map of the area and they talked us through the various vineyards and recommended a route - this was really helpful! You have to pay for the tastings at the various vineyards - we went to 5 and had a great experience at all of them. We ended up sharing tastings as a couple, which worked great and the vineyards were happy for us to do that. Bikes & helmets were in very good condition and the company were very friendly, helpful & easy going! Would definitely recommend doing this experience and choosing this company.

Self guiding wine trip - Very easy. Getting picked up and dropped off was so good. E-bikes that we used were great. The map made things easy and gave you options. Would definitely recommend

A great fun day worth every penny - We had a lovely couple of days in Renwick taking a break from our campervan staying in an airbnb called mistycove wines. We were a bit outside the normal pickup area but collection/return was arranged. The whole experience was excellent,really great ebikes and a map and guidance of suggested vineyards to visit. A really friendly professional operation that we recommend whole heartedly

Great e-bike experience - We had a brilliant experience renting e bikes with Explore Marlborough - we were picked up from our accommodation promptly and taken to Vines Village to be fitted with the bikes. Everything was explained clearly and the staff were really helpful and knowledgeable about all the vineyards in the area and their specialties. I havent ridden a bike for 15 years but the e-bikes were easy to use. The views on the cycle path were stunning and everything was well signposted both on the map and roadside. They also offer free pick up of any bottles of wine you want to purchase along the way. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore the vineyards around Blenheim.
