Cycling Hawkes Bay NZ is a must do if you are in the region.  It’s a brilliant way to experience this sun soaked area, enabling you to forget the car and enjoy the incredible wines on offer in the oldest wine region in New Zealand.

The 3 day self guided cycling itinerary ‘Tour de Hawkes Bay’  will suit those looking for easy outdoor activity & to experience the best that the gorgeous Hawkes Bay region has to offer.   For wine lovers, the cycling on Day 2 is the highlight, as you will be picked up from the Gimblett Gravels Appellation at the end of the day so you can enjoy the many cellar doors (about 11) without having to cycle home to your accommodation!  Ride the river trails in the morning then enjoy the afternoon at the wineries.
