"Wine Tours By Bike" with Lorelle and Greg has been in business of hiring bikes for over 26 years and offers self-guided biking among our beautiful cellar doors here in Renwick. It is a day designed for you, by you, where you have the flexibility and independence to choose how you spend your time, which cellar doors you want to visit, how long you spend at each one, and do so all at your own bikin

g pace. We will provide heaps of up-to-date information about the cellar doors and provide you with a detailed cellar door map that we have designed ourselves that show you the bikes paths, quiet roads and what roads to avoid. You will also be supported with our backup service, so if something happens to your bike whilst you are out, we will be there to replace it within minutes, so you can explore on your own and know that we are here if you need us. We also offer to collect your wine for free during the day too if you don't want to carry it :-)

Starting out here in Renwick means you could be at your first cellar door within 2 MINUTES of leaving our front gate. Keeping you and those around you safe is always our number one priority, so if you are staying in Renwick or Blenheim for the night, there is no need to risk drink/driving as we offer a FREE PICKUP & DROP OFF shuttle service (within 15km of our base in Blicks Road) if you opt for our full day hire.

Brad and Alice were the lucky winners of the Westpac Lower Hutt Chopper quiz auction! Proceeds going to the well deserving Westpac Chopper Appeal. Part of the awesome package they won, included a day out on our bikes enjoying the stunning cellar doors and restaurants in our region! Brad is a Westpac employee and a long serving Chopper Champ himself and it was an absolute pleasure to host them! 🥰🚴

Also big thanks to Walnut Block & The Fancy Cow for the donations to this amazing cause.

Hey everyone ! We are on the hunt for shuttle drivers for the Xmas & New Year period. Must be over 18 years old and have a clean drivers license. May suit a semi retired fit and able person who is looking for a reason to escape the house for a few hours a day! This is a split shift role, 9am-11.30am and then 4pm-5.30pm.... so you can still get all your jobs done in the afternoon! Great customer service and communication skills is key, as is being flexible with your time... must be also able to work some weekends!

So if you love meeting people and having some fun, get in touch with us so we can meet and chat!

Quick shout out to our cellar door friends for doing a little something that makes such a big difference... instead of just throwing away their wine caps, they keep them for us and we then collect them on behalf of the Blenheim Lions Club to get recycled and the money raised goes towards the Kidney Kids Project.
Whitehaven Wines, Framingham Wines, Hunter's Wines, Allan Scott Wines, Forrest Wines, Rimapere, Bladen Wines, Te Whare Ra (TWR) Wines :-)
Great job, everyone.

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.
