Uncork & Cycle: Self-Guided Cape Winelands Wine Journey

Well organised, bikes in tip top condition. Good interaction with people running the show. We enjoyed the self paced/guided journey. All of the wineries we visited were welcoming. Overall an enjoyable day.

Incredible scenery, incredible wineries, incredible day out! Bikes worked well, our driver Iain knew the area and history well and was very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend: Gorgeous route, clearly marked signs, protected path (away from cars) the entire route, and good communication from the company. We booked the E-bikes and it made this a breeze for multiple fitness levels! If you’re not fit, it’s okay, you can still do & *enjoy* it with their pedal assist e-bikes. NOTE: 1) the wineries listed on the viator itinerary are outdated. (See below) 2) you need to book some of them in advance. Not all are open 7 days a week. They will text you the night before w which are open, but you can find this on google to book in advance to get preferred times. 3) go to Craggy Range, especially if on e-bike. The view/ scenery is STUNNING and the elevation change to/from is minimal and very doable on e-bike. Cape Winery Cycle, their suggested route/locations in order, as of April 2025: Clearview Estate - Elephant Hill- Askerne - Craggy Range - Te Mata Estate - Black Barn

Such a cool company. We met some awesome people on the bus on the way to drop off. Then we stuck with the through the day. A lot of fun and a really cool way to do a wine tour around the beautiful region of Hawkes Bay

It was such a fun day with great staff. Relatively easy on the e-bikes. Only thing I didn’t realise is that you don’t have time to go to every winery. Highly recommend Askerne for lunch.

Very good fun, e-bikes make it very easy to cover the distance. We went to five out of the six vineyards and the tastings were all different and very good. Some excellent wines. Emails about needing to book some of the tastings, and food, could have come a little earlier, as we were travelling and could not reply or book in advance. Our guides were very clear with their instructions on the journey out to the start, so our getting slightly lost was down to our lapses in concentration. Would definitely do it again.

The good news first: e-bikes were in great condition and the trails are beautiful. Really nice. That’s important since this is more a bike ride than a wine tour. And it was a real experience. The bad news: some wineries are not open seven days; the route is confusing and the map handed out is more representational than literal (we got lost) and the weather is definitely relevant. It rained lightly for most of our ride. Be sure to note that wine is not included in the price so count on spending saying $50NZ+ more than the cost of the trip.

What a fantastic tour!! This was the best day we had Ebiking around Napier from one winery to the next. The company was super responsive and helpful making the trip a great experience. Highly recommend this tour!

Very good bikes, good maps nice trip. No way to fit in 6 wineries. Some were closed luckily. Would be good if they had a pick up in the main town for ship tourists

Good value and lovely comfy bikes. Great friendly service from Raymond and lots of advice on where to go. We had no problems on our cycle but it was great to know that Raymond was always available as backup. Highly recommended.
